Family · Responsibilities · Roles

Carrying Expectations.

You’ve been the dependable one for so long that it’s stopped feeling like a role — it just feels like you. But something inside is quietly asking to be asked how it’s doing. It’s allowed to.

Perhaps something here quietly recognises you.

You’ve been calling it “just how it is.”

Some of it is. But some of it is a weight that has never been named — and things that go unnamed rarely get lighter on their own. Setting a little of it down doesn’t make you less of the person your family relies on. It’s often what allows you to keep being that person.

Someone finally asks how you are — and waits for the real answer.
