I make time for others

See the end of this email to feed a starving child with a single tap. (only takes one second)

Hey,

You show up. That's just who you are. You remember the things people tell you. You check in. You move your schedule around. You answer the phone when most people would let it ring.

And somewhere along the way, that stopped feeling like a choice. It just became what you do.

The problem isn't that you care. The problem is what happens when you care in one direction for too long. You start running on empty and still finding more to give. Not because you want to, but because it's become your role, and stepping back feels wrong. Like you'd be letting someone down.

A lot of people who make time for others learned early that being needed kept things stable. That being useful was how you stayed close to people. That showing up was the price of being loved. And so you kept paying it. Even when nobody was paying it back.

Making time for others isn't the problem. Doing it while quietly suffocating is.

When was the last time someone rearranged their day for you? Not because the people in your life are bad, but because you trained them not to worry. You made it look so easy that they assumed you were fine.

Being the person who shows up feels good. But it can also become a way to avoid the discomfort of asking to be shown up for yourself.

A Little Note From Me:

I used to think making time for people was just how I expressed love. And it was, but it was also how I avoided being vulnerable about my own needs. Giving puts you in control. Asking puts you at risk. If you're exhausted from always being the one who shows up, It's a sign you've been generous with people who may not have earned that much of you yet. You don't have to stop being that person. You just deserve to be one of the people you show up for.
