Good morning! I often tell my friends that if I ever become truly successful, I’ll probably look back and wonder how I managed to carry everything at once My parents are divorced. I have two sisters and a baby brother. One of my sisters, who is now 16, lives with my mother. My other sister, who is 23, and my baby brother, who will turn one in January, live with my father. I’m constantly moving between these two parts of my family My relationship with my mother is complicated. For years now, I haven’t really felt like I have a mother, yet she is still my mother. I love and respect her deeply, and I will always be there for her. Some days she calls asking for help, and I show up. Other times it’s my younger sister, and I need to be there for her too I spend most of my time on my father’s side, where there is always something happening as well. He needs help with his stuff. I need to babysit my brother. My older sister needs support with her dream, and I’m always there, driving her from city to city, to studios, to events, doing whatever I can to make sure she keeps following it. Then there’s my grandmother, who lives with my father, and she needs help too And on top of all this, there’s my own life. My work, being present online, bringing ideas to life, dealing with failures, and making sure I survive, emotionally and practically, while trying to build something meaningful I’m not even mentioning having my own family. As someone for whom family is everything, I’m afraid that this might not happen anytime soon There are days when I’m mentally exhausted. Not in a way that makes me want to give up on life but in a way that weighs heavily. And yet, I always return to my purpose. A desire to take care of my family and a belief that I’m here to make the world, in whatever small ways I can, a better place If you’re reading this and carrying something similar, not the same story, but the same mental weight, I want you to know that you’ve got this! Even when it’s hard! What helps me the most is allowing myself to cry from time to time! To let my soul heal! And if you need someone to talk to feel free to reach out at any times! Have a blessed day!🌹
