“I wrote this on a day when my heart felt too heavy to carry. If you're in that space too, I hope these words help you feel a little less alone.”

“To the One Who Feels Too Much: You Are Not Too Much”

There are moments in life when the weight of being “the strong one” becomes unbearable. If you're in one of those seasons—aching quietly, loving deeply, and holding pieces of yourself together—this letter is for you.

If something in this letter echoed within you, let that be enough for now. You don’t have to rush to fix or figure anything out. Sometimes, being honest about what hurts is the first soft step toward healing.

Before you move on, ask yourself gently:

What is my heart asking for right now—and how can I offer it, even in the smallest way?

Let that question sit with you. Maybe you journal about it. Maybe you carry it quietly through your day. There’s no right way to answer—just your way.

You deserve your own tenderness. And you’re allowed to return to yourself, again and again.
