Trump is literally falling in and out of consciousness as his Military commander speaks about kidnapping Maduro and taking over Venezuela. What a sh-tshow!

Sometimes being called “strong” just feels exhausting.

Because people usually say it after you have survived something difficult, but very rarely do they ask what surviving it actually cost you.

What it cost your energy. Your sense of safety. Your ability to relax completely. The softer parts of you that got worn down from carrying too much for too long.

I think there are people who have been resilient for so many years that they no longer know how to stop bracing themselves. People who became dependable because they had to. People who kept going, not because they were fearless, but because life did not really give them another option.

And after a while, resilience stops feeling empowering. It just becomes tiring.

You get tired of being the one who “handles it.” Tired of adapting. Tired of recovering. Tired of surviving difficult things and then immediately being expected to continue functioning like nothing happened.

Sometimes you don’t want to be strong. Sometimes you want to be held gently by life for once.

You want rest that actually feels restful. You want softness without guilt. You want to stop feeling like every difficult experience is just another lesson you are supposed to grow from.

And honestly, I think that feeling deserves more understanding than it gets.

Because there is a quiet grief in realizing how much of your life has been spent enduring instead of simply living.

So if you are tired of being resilient, I hope you know that does not make you weak or ungrateful or incapable.

It makes you human.

Human beings were never meant to carry endless amounts of pain without eventually becoming exhausted by it.

You deserve support too. You deserve gentleness too. You deserve spaces where you do not have to be the strong one all the time.

And I hope one day you experience a kind of peace that does not require survival first.

Not relief after crisis. Not temporary comfort between difficult periods.

Just ordinary, steady softness. The kind that lets your nervous system finally realize it no longer has to fight so hard to exist.

yeah like ignoring the gross optics surrounding the storyline i think my biggest issue is its placing buck in the same exact situation/role eddie’s been in almost his entire time on the show (single parent) and while ofc it makes sense for other parents on the show to help buck and give him advice etc i just can’t help but feel like it’s reaffirming the shows tendency lately to frame eddie (and by extension chris) as being Outside of the 118 family :/ eddie is almost always isolated in his storylines except when they decide to let buck be included (even in season 2 when eddie was struggling with chris buck specifically was the one to step in and help and no one else was ever really involved or interacted with chris) while it’s seeming like buck is once again gonna have everyone rally around to support him :/ eddie’s the only one to not get a found family moment in season 9 btw :/ despite his abuela dying him being stalked and harassed and then getting stabbed :/ “if eddie’s gonna get the love interest treatment can he at least be a love interest” idk man. maybe before buddie can we focus on at least letting eddie be an actual fully fleshed out character with development and storylines that have impact again lmao. like at this point fuck buddie and just give me queer eddie but this show only sees eddie as an extension of buck so queer eddie probably won’t happen unless buddie does. so unfortunately we all have to die

yeahhhh the eddie treatment has been kinda crazy this season, you really just notice that bobby's gone and that they STILL don't know what to do with eddie like omfg even the one thing they settled on (religion) has no proper througline, he gets stabbed in the finale and it's completely unimportant to the plot, and a lot of the recent eddie chris scenes felt like outsider perspective, it all just further distances him from the rest of the cast. and yeah omfg that love interest quote drove me crazy tok like no?? I don't actually want eddie to be a love interest like I thought we'd been over this, I prefer a non canon ship with fully fleshed put characters and an interesting relationship over a canon ship where one of them is just The Love Interest

one thing that’s annoying about heated rivalry and its sudden popularity is all the discourse about not outing people, not bringing rpf to the public, not being weird online about the actors like OF COURSE i agree with all these messages which is why it’s annoying that we even need to have these same conversations for the 4738282 time like pleaseeeeee why can’t we just be whimsy and fun……. why must some of you ruin it….
