This essay has given me a lot to think about. Sometimes, there's a fine line between being vulnerable and honest and emotionally dumping on people. Thank you for sharing. :)
There’s so much truth in what you wrote: the exhaustion of carrying others’ unhealed pain, the quiet strength it takes to protect people from your own, and the courage to finally say no more. I’ve felt that weight too... the lines between care and codependency, love and obligation, blur too easily. Your words are a powerful reminder that we are allowed to draw boundaries, to protect our peace, and to stop bleeding for people who won’t stop the cut. You're not alone.
