@jawn_o: For a long time, it was hard to be my most genuine self. Not because I didn’t know who that was, but because I was afraid of letting people down and not having the strength to hold them up. I lived as if my value was tied to my usefulness. If I wasn’t helping, fixing, or contributing, I assumed I’d be discarded. Grief has a way of exposing that lie. Our closest and most trusted people don’t love us because we’re useful. They love us because we’re human. Follow for more reflections on grief, hope, and the slow work of being someone without having to perform. #grief #hope #life #Love #healing #inspiration #motivation #MentalHealth #griefisalanguage
