Can we just say this out loud?
You can be smart, strong, independent—and still be hurting.
We live in a culture that glorifies “pushing through.”
If you’re sad, just hustle harder.
If you’re anxious, just breathe.
If you’re burned out, just take a bath and light a candle.
But you’re not weak because life feels hard right now.
You’re human. And sometimes the bravest thing you can do is say:
“Hey, I’m not okay today.”
Not everyone wants to process that in a therapy office.
That’s valid. But you still deserve support. You still deserve space.
So write. Rant. Vent. Confess. Do it here. Or do it in a notebook.
But don’t carry it alone if you don’t have to.
