Some people aren't tired because they didn't get enough sleep.
They're tired from being strong. From holding everything together. From showing up for everyone else while quietly wishing someone would show up for them.
You can be grateful and still feel overwhelmed. You can smile and still need a little comfort.
On National Stress Awareness Day, I hope you find a moment to breathe, a reason to smile, and someone who reminds you that you don't have to carry everything alone.
Even the strongest hearts need a soft place to land.
