💌 To the Girl Who Feels Like a Burden
Dear you,
I know. You don’t ask for help because you think you should already have it figured out. You apologize for crying. You say “thank you” too often and “please stay” not enough.
You make it easier for others to breathe, even when you’re gasping.
You’ve convinced yourself that love is earned— through usefulness, through silence, through always being the one who remembers to bring snacks and check the weather and fill the silence with safe questions.
But love isn’t a trophy. It’s not a punch card. You don’t need to bleed quietly to be worthy of belonging.
You are not a burden.
You are a heartbeat in a house that forgot how to listen.
You are someone’s favorite scent— even if they haven’t told you yet. You are softness wrapped in tired bones. You are allowed to take up space.
You don’t have to be the strong one all the time. You don’t have to earn the right to rest.
You are not selfish for needing. You are not dramatic for feeling. You are not difficult for saying “This hurts.”
Somewhere, someone is waiting to hold you without asking for anything in return.
And if you haven’t found them yet, let this letter be the first hand held out.
You are not too much. You are not too complicated. You are not in the way.
You are not a burden. You are a girl learning to let herself be held.
And I am so proud of you.
Love, Someone who sees you
Why do I feel overwhelmed all the time?
If you feel overwhelmed most of the time, even when nothing dramatic is happening, you’re not broken and you’re not failing at life.
Persistent overwhelm is often a sign that your nervous system has been carrying more than it’s had space to process. It can show up even when you’re doing “everything right,” even when things look calm on the outside.
For many people, overwhelm isn’t about one big problem. It’s about accumulation.
Some people find it helpful to talk this through out loud in a space where they aren’t rushed toward fixing, reframing, or solving. Support options like VENT! Sessions exist specifically for emotional release, grounding, and being heard without pressure or performance.
You don’t need a breakdown to deserve support. Feeling overwhelmed is enough information.
Some people move on from here feeling steadier. Others choose a VENT! session to gently unpack what surfaced. Both are valid.
I wrote an extended version of this for those who want to go a little deeper.
It’s available on Patreon for $5.55 and explores what chronic overwhelm looks like in people who have learned to stay functional no matter what — and how care can meet that without pressure or performance.
No rush. Take what helps.

To the Woman Who Feels Alone, I See You.
I’m not here to impress anyone.Not here to charm or flirt with fake promises.I’m just a young man — 23, grounded, mature, and honest — with one simple wish:To connect with someone who feels deeply… but quietly carries pain.Maybe you’re a widow, or a woman who walked away from a love that turned cold.Maybe you’re divorced, or still in a relationship where you feel unseen.Maybe you’ve been strong for too long, and all you really want is someone to say:> “It’s okay. You don’t have to carry everything alone.”I don’t offer magic.But I offer presence.Real attention.Words that don’t rush.Silences that feel safe.Touch — only when trust grows.Yes, I’m young — but I’ve always been the kind of person people open up to.I’ve never cared for games or shallow talk.What I value is connection — physical, emotional, or both — rooted in truth.I know what loneliness feels like.And if you’ve been holding back your emotions, your desires, your stress —I want to be someone you can breathe freely with, without fear or shame.No pressure.No expectations.Just one soul speaking gently to another.If this resonates with you… I’m here.Listening.Waiting quietly.Ready to give, if you’re ready to receive.
Cole: *so gently takes your hand pulling you away from whatever’s bothering you right now* I just pulled my serape from the dryer, it’s still warm. Why don’t we snuggle on the couch with a movie darlin an we can talk about what’s bothering you… okay?…
Some things I realised today:
The only way you get better is by trudging through the pain and trauma symptoms and lethargy towards your goals.
Your problems aren't going to disappear overnight. The only way you can move forward is to accept that fact and fight for change.
Not everything comforting and comfortable is good for you and not everything painful is automatically bad. The ability to discern the difference comes with time.
When you finally manage to crawl your way out of despair, don't feel bad for not doing it earlier. You've done your very best up until this point and the sum of all your efforts is what has given you the perspective and ability to get better.
There are some accomplishments of yours that others won't value or appreciate the same way you will. They don't have to. The most important thing is that you appreciate them and be proud of yourself for how hard you've come.

fathers count as well, particularly in regard to child holding. For a father to-be, it means quite a bit to track down ways of engaging in the child holding experience so they, as well, can feel that astonishing association with their children all along. While holding can be a smidgen more trying for fathers than mothers, since mothers are with the child constantly, there are certainly a few things the father can do to build his initial holding experience. The following are five different ways the new father to-be can begin holding with child even before the much anticipated day.
