Sometimes I feel like the whole world is on my shoulders.

I feel like I am a bird carrying a deadweight and doing my best to drag it as close to the finish line as possible.

I succeed a little and try to open my wings, only to realise I can’t fly with all this weight on my shoulders.

It is difficult to be ambitious when you also have responsibilities.

You always have to look after your responsibilities first, which hinders your growth.

I am tired and at my breaking point, but I don’t want to feel guilty about not caring.

And I DO CARE, SO, SO MUCH.

But if caring and loving someone takes a toll on yourself, is it even worth it?

Anonymously posting how I feel for anyone and everyone to read over here somehow makes me feel better.

It makes me feel like I have put my call for help out there and universe will try it’s best to heal me.

I don’t think I am overthinking about this situation, I am genuinely not feeling appreciated.

It might dull my spark and spirit in the coming months. I can feel it.

I hope it doesn’t, I have so much on stake. But I just feel so awful and under appreciated and just sad.

The fact that someone else is getting recognised for the same thing you do on an equal par, it just hurts your spirit.

I feel awful

I am disheartened

When you put in your everything

And you don’t even get appreciation

It just breaks my heart

Just because I don’t say it out loud doesn’t mean I am not hurt

I am very hurt

And I don’t know what to do
