... Read moreIn a world where many feel the weight of expectations on their shoulders, the sentiment of wanting support while being the reliable one resonates deeply. As mentioned in the OCR content, 'When you've always been the one to fix it... You forget what it feels like to be held, not needed.' This speaks to the emotional fatigue that can arise when you're constantly in a caretaker role. Many individuals, especially those in nurturing roles, often prioritize the needs of others above their own, leading to feelings of isolation and burnout. It’s essential to acknowledge these feelings and understand that seeking help does not diminish one’s strength. By discussing these emotions openly, we can foster a sense of community and shared experience. Proceed to explore avenues of self-care that nurture not just our capacity to help others, but also our own mental health and well-being. Join us in recognizing the importance of mental health awareness. Let’s share strategies for creating balance and cultivating relationships where support flows both ways. Remember, it’s okay to reach out and ask for support when needed. You matter, and so does your well-being.

This week my friend in Israel had a birthday. She replied to my message: "I have the best girlfriends! One was running through sirens to get me a birthday gift." That's Israel right now. Sirens throughout the day. At night. Birthdays still happen. Dinner still needs to be made.

We used to think love was all about effort and time. But we learned the hard way that sometimes, it's what you're still doing that's slowly breaking the bond. Tiny things. Daily things. Habits you don't even question until they start making love feel heavy. If you want to gro
