I see you.

I see you.

Laughing still.

Making others people laugh even.

Trying your very best to balance it all.

Work.

Kids.

“Self-care”.

Social connections.

Yet.

I see you.

Cry yourself to sleep at night.

Finding yourself grasping for air throughout the day as you need to breathe.

I see you over thinking, over analyzing, over judging every single thought, word and action.

I see you genuinely being happy for others successes, happiness and yes… Blessings.

Genuinely feeling happiness for others is part of your authenticity.

Yet.

I see you horrified as you feel the bitterness grow like a cancer inside you as you ask yourself one question sometimes 1,000 times a day.

“Why? Why does it just keep getting harder? “

I see you.

I see you have isolated yourself …

First from friends “back home”

Then collègues, new friends and pretty soon even outside.

Sometimes?

No news does not always mean good news.

And answering “ Good” to the dreaded question “How are things!” Has became a stabbing knife wound to your heart with no reprieve.

That won’t heal.

I see you.

Every morning when you brave the day.

And every night when you get ready for bed.

I see you.

I am You.
