We hoard our burdens like they’re treasure.
Guard them. Protect others from them. Call it strength.
But burdening someone isn’t an imposition. It’s an invitation.
The friend who lets you carry their worry for an hour trusts you more than the one who never does.
We don’t need less weight. We need someone willing to help hold it.
That’s not burden. That’s connection.
(If you need proof, watch Remarkably Bright Creatures. It’s sunshine in film form, and it makes the case better than I just did.)
