Your Needs Are Not a Problem

You’re the one who holds it all together.
Who makes sure everyone else is okay.
Who anticipates, adjusts, and absorbs.

And slowly—quietly—your needs slipped out of view.

It wasn’t always spoken aloud, but you learned it just the same:
That your needs were too much.
That someone else’s comfort mattered more.
That needing made you inconvenient.

So now, when your body cries for rest, you push harder.
When your heart longs for connection, you stay silent.
When your soul says “I need,”
you whisper back, “It’s fine.”

But you’re not fine. You’re just used to not being heard.

Here’s the truth:
Your needs are not an interruption. They are sacred signals of your humanity.

They are not selfish. They are not burdensome.
They are part of your aliveness.
And they deserve your tenderness.

You’ve cared for everyone else.
Now it’s time to include yourself in the care.
