For the Parts of You Holding Too Much
Is there something you could let go of?
There are places in all of us that work so hard to keep everything together.
The part that says yes when you mean not right now.
The part that carries what was never yours to hold.
The part that stays strong when you’d rather crumble.
We see those parts.
They are devoted. They are loving. They are often the reason others feel safe. But sometimes they are tired. Sometimes they are asking, quietly, to be met with softness.
What would it feel like to set something down?
Not everything. Just one thing that’s been weighing on you.
Maybe it’s a thought that loops in the background.
Maybe it’s an expectation you’ve been trying to meet.
Maybe it’s the endless list you’ll never finish.
You don’t have to let it go forever.
You can simply rest it beside you for a while.
Find a place that welcomes you, feel the texture of the moment. The temperature of the air on your skin. The sound of your own breath.
This is where we begin to soften.
Not by forcing anything to change, but by making space for what is here, in this very now.
May they meet you exactly where you are, and offer a little more room to breathe.
