You wake up and for just a second you don’t remember what’s waiting for you.
And then it hits.
Jaw clenched. Lower back tight. Head heavy before your feet have even touched the floor.
They need you. All of them. And you love them. You do.
But you can’t remember the last time someone asked how you are and actually waited for the real answer.
So you get up. Make the coffee. Hold it a little too tight.
You tell yourself it’s stress. More gym time. A new diet. A girls night out.
You come home still snappy. Still empty. Still not quite yourself.
What if your body isn’t broken.
It’s just lonely.
And lonely has a way back.

If this is you, save this post. The way back starts with being heard.
