Even Light Needs Rest ✨
You are the one others lean on. The steady presence. The quiet strength. The light they look for in the dark. But even light needs rest. Even the strongest hearts deserve to pause. To be held. To be poured into. You weren’t meant to carry everyone else while forgetting your own soul.
