There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from carrying things you were never meant to hold forever. Versions of yourself you’ve outgrown. Relationships that ended badly. Mistakes you can still describe in painful detail, years later. I know this because I spent most of my twenties doing exactly that, shifting emotional weight I couldn’t put down, wondering why I felt so heavy.
Now I’m 37. I’ve built something I’m proud of, found love, created a life
