You say you 'are not supposed to be like this'. Like what......human.....frail and vulnerable as the rest of us?
It seems more powerful to be the caretaker who displays no need, who negates herself to be there for everyone else. I know this only too well myself. But I am learning it is not.....it is a lonely place full of deceit.
It is the strong who show their humanity, who reach out for support and help when they need it....who allow themselves to be known. Just as you have done.
Thank you for reaching out to everyone here with your humanity. I pray comfort and blessing for you, and that you take great care of yourself today..
