Even the Strongest Hearts Get Tired: People often assume that because I handle things well, nothing affects me. They see me keep going, keep showing up, and keep carrying what life places on my shoulders. What they don't realize is that strength does not mean I do not feel pain. It does not mean disappointment doesn't reach me, or that difficult moments don't leave their mark. The truth is, I get tired too. Tired of being understanding. Tired of carrying things in silence. Tired of pretending that everything is okay when it isn't. There are moments when my heart feels heavy, when my spirit feels worn down, and when I have nothing left to give. Not because I am weak, but because I am human. So please remember that even the people who seem the strongest need care, patience, and understanding too. A person can carry a lot before they finally reach their limit. And sometimes, the quietest struggles belong to those who spend most of their lives being strong for everyone else.
