You give. And give. And give. You pour from a cup that's already cracked. You check on everyone. You show up for everyone. You carry what isn't even yours. And somehow. no one asks how you are. Your kindness is beautiful. But it should not cost you your peace. You are not here to bleed love into people who wouldn't offer you a glass of water. It's not selfish to rest. It's not cruel to say no. It's not wrong to choose yourself. The same heart that gives so much deserves to be protected too.
