Letters From The Lounge -Ep. 5: To the One Who’s Tired of Being Strong

Dear you…I know everybody depends on you.You’re the one who figures it out.The one people call when something goes wrong.The one who says “I’m good” even when you’re anything but.And because you’ve carried it so well…people started believing it wasn’t heavy.But who checks on the person everybody else leans on?Who asks you, “Are you really okay?” — and stays long enough to hear the real answer?Being strong doesn’t mean you never get tired.It doesn’t mean you have to know what to do next.And it definitely doesn’t mean you have to carry everything alone.Sometimes strength is putting something down.Sometimes it’s saying, “I can’t do this today.”Sometimes it’s finally allowing somebody else to show up for you.You’ve spent so much time being a safe place for everybody else.You deserve somewhere safe to land too.So tonight…take the armor off.Let yourself breathe.The world won’t fall apart because you rested for a moment.Remember:You don’t always have to be the strong one. Sometimes, you deserve to be held too. 💌💌 Letters From The Lounge -Episode 5To the One Who’s Tired of Being StrongFrom a quiet corner of The Sykes Lounge.🖤 Be Safe • Be Great • Be You
