Lookback: since childhood

Being strong and resilient

People's constant praise exhausts me, making me feel like I'm carrying a heavy weight without relief.

What I wish I knew
"There needs to be a balance between resilience and reprieve."
If I could tell you one thing
"Seek help and support, not just empty praise."
