Hyper-independence is often just a survival mechanism in disguise—it’s easier to do everything yourself than to risk being let down by someone else. But eventually, you realize that while being alone keeps you safe, it also keeps you small.

Grief for being the child who had to hold it all together while everyone else fell apart.
Grief for realizing, way too young, that no one was ever really coming to save you.
