If you’re the person who is always there for others,
know that your heart is rare. Know that you give people
hope. Know that you make people feel wanted,
that you make people feel seen; know that you make
people feel like they have purpose. However, also
remind yourself that you are not invincible. Your heart
needs rest. You need rest. Remind yourself that you
do not need to carry the weight of the world on your
shoulders, that you may not be able to save everyone,
that you may not be able to heal every hurt. Remind
yourself that you deserve to take all of the energy you
put out into the world and invest it back into yourself
from time to time. That you are worthy of the love
you keep giving to everyone else. Remind yourself that
you don’t always have to be strong, that you don’t
always have to be the fixer. You can be human; you can
ask for help. You can take a step back to nourish the
softness inside of you.
