Sometimes it just feels heavy. You know what I mean? Like last night, it wasn’t even anything specific that triggered it—it was just life. All of it. My goals, the responsibilities on my shoulders, everything I’m trying to figure out, taking care of my family, trying to build a successful business, and on top of that, actually making a real impact on the people I serve. It was like all of it hit me at once. Just boom—the weight of it.
And when that weight hit? Man, it was heavy. So heavy that I felt more mentally, emotionally, and physically drained than usual. You know that feeling where you’re not just tired—you’re exhausted on every level. And the crazy thing is, it wasn’t tied to any one thing. There wasn’t a single problem or issue that did me in—it was just everything all at once, sitting on my chest, making it hard to even think straight.
And I had to remind myself—this happens. We all have those days, even the ones who seem like they have it all together. Even the ones who are used to being the person everybody else comes to when they need advice, support, or just someone to lean on. Sometimes, we get tired too. More than we realize. More than we care to admit. And maybe even more than the average person, because we care so much and we try to carry other people’s load along with our own.
You’re allowed to feel tired. You’re allowed to feel heavy. Caring deeply comes with a weight, and some days that weight feels like it’s too much.
It’s not easy being the person everyone counts on. There’s a pressure that comes with that. And sometimes, the expectation you have of yourself, to always be strong, to always push through—it just adds to that weight. But even on the days when it feels too heavy, that doesn’t mean you’re failing. It doesn’t mean you’re weak. It just means you’re human.
It’s okay to acknowledge that, even if you’re the strong one, you need a moment too. A moment to just sit with the heaviness and breathe. A moment to admit, “This is a lot,” and let yourself feel it, without guilt. Because we spend so much time trying to be everything for everyone, that we forget we’re allowed to get tired. We’re allowed to be the ones who need a break.
Strength isn’t about never feeling the weight—it’s about knowing when to step back and take care of yourself, so you can keep going.
So, if you’re feeling like this right now, if everything just feels like too much, know that it’s okay. It happens to all of us. You’re not alone in this. And the heaviness will pass, but you’ve got to give yourself the space to feel it and not rush yourself through it. You’ve got to remind yourself that taking care of you is just as important as taking care of everyone else.
Rest if you need to. Recharge. Let go of the expectation that you always have to be strong. Because you’re strong even when you need a moment to breathe.
And trust me, when you do, you’ll come back stronger, clearer, and more ready to keep going. You’ve got this, even when it feels like you don’t.
