Sometimes I wonder if anyone will notice how much I’ve been carrying. I’ve spent so much time caring for others that I forgot what it feels like to be cared for too. By the time someone listens, I feel like I’ve already stopped hoping to be understood by those people.
I don’t know how to explain this but you’re largely alone in the journey of life.
People can only be there for you in the capacity they have because they, too, have their own lives to live. There’s only so much they can do and only so long a time they can be present for.
Not everyone will understand your pain. Some people will try to invalidate your feelings, which will make you feel worthless. Some people will never understand you no matter how hard you try to explain how you feel. I hope you find someone who will give importance to your story.
Sometimes I doubt myself and wonder why I distance from others. I go quiet for days, weeks, or even months, and no one understands it. I’m fine one moment, then suddenly I’m not, without even knowing why.
