oh, my dear.
you are carrying such a heavy burden.

you don’t have to go it alone.
you weren’t meant to go it alone.

none of us were meant for that.

we need each other
in so many ways.

it is safe to let people in,
to ask for help,
to receive support and comfort and nourishment.

it makes you more, not less.

there is great generosity in receiving as well as giving,
and vulnerability is a sign of strength, not of weakness.
