I think confidence changes a lot as you get older. When I was younger, I thought confidence meant: But honestly? Life humbles people eventually. And somewhere along the way, I think my confidence quietly became tied too much to performance. How much I accomplished. How useful I was. How well…

I don’t think people fully understand how emotionally consuming caregiving can become until they experience it themselves. Especially when multiple people you love suddenly need you at the same time. These past few months felt like I was constantly shifting into caretaker mode. Checking on people. Managing emotions. Watching over…
