@lilycoy__: i think about this more than people would expect from someone my age. how many men walk around every day holding everything together — for their families, for the people they love, for themselves, and nobody ever just stops and says “i see you. i see how hard you’re trying.” my father was like that. he never complained. never made his struggles into a performance. he just showed up, every single day, until he couldn’t anymore. i grew up watching that and thinking — someone should have told him more. how steady he was. how much it mattered. so if that’s you… if you’ve been quiet and steady and good in a world that barely notices anymore… i see it. i really do 🥹🧡🙏
