emotional

There’s a certain kind of tired that doesn’t come from work, it comes from being around people who drain you.

Constantly explaining yourself. Shrinking your light. Walking on eggshells just to keep the peace.

It’s not selfish to protect your energy.
Not everyone deserves access to the soft, growing version of you.

Letting go isn't cold. Sometimes it’s the kindest thing you can do.. for them, and for you.

Some people don’t realize how much it costs you just to keep things calm. Letting go can be sacred.
