Sometimes stepping back is the first step
But somewhere along the way, you learned that holding it all together was your responsibility
So you became the planner, the protector, the emotional regulator—the one who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks
But peace doesn’t come from perfect management. It comes from knowing when to stop bracing and start trusting. From believing that you are still safe, still loved, and still enough even when you loosen your grip.
Let this be your reminder that life is different than it once was (even if it feels really similar). You don’t have to play the same role and you now have a partner who is just as capable of looking out for and caring for you back—
Let him.
If it’s hard to trust that you’re deserving of the care you give or that your partner is truly capable of stepping up to meet you in your needs, I get it. Let me help 💛
