I am exhausted by strength

I want support
I want softness
I want ease
I want to be amongst kin
not patted on the back for how well I take a hit
or for how many

Sometimes when people tell us we're strong it's almost guilt-tripping us for considering asking for help or even just taking a break.
@EuphoricTurtle And then [i]you[/i] come along and I realise that yes .. yes I can take a break <3

If only people understood that even the strong have a breaking point..I'm so sorry, and I'm sending strength and hugs to you.
@SW-User Ditto <3

@JosephineTheFox Thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗
I get this. Sometimes you just want someone to say, “Let me be strong for you for a little while”

😢🤗
@Pinkstarburst Exactly! <3

I can definitely relate.

Sucks we live in a world where our value as people is so contingent on how much shit we can take from other people without complaining or giving any back. Then we wonder why random acts of extreme violence are on the rise in "civilized" nations.

When you've got a country full of easily accessible guns, and you mix that with a soul crushing and emotionally oppressive work and school culture, of course a lot of people are going to get shot.
@Eternity We really do expect far too much from one another..

You expressed that so perfectly. Sometimes, the last thing we want to hear how is strong we are, yet one more time. All we really want to hear is that it's okay for us not to be strong, just for a little while. Being strong all the time truly is exhausting.

I wish you peace.
@FrozenWasteland Merci <3
