today it hit me how alone i felt like i don’t feel the energy of all the support i have.
i said out loud how alone i felt and that i feel like i’m giving too much and not receiving enough.
by the second time i was looping this i still felt upset so i was messaging my coworker that i’ll still come to work today, but i won’t be at my best.
just before i finished typing and sending, he messaged me asking me where something was so we can make my favourite dish for the teens.
i was surprised at the intervention, but grateful. i also see him as more of a father figure than my dad could ever be for me.
the feelings of carrying the world on my shoulders are still there… but it feels lighter now.
