Carrying What Isn’t Ours: The Fine Line Between Caring and Self-Sacrifice
We can love people fiercely without losing ourselves. We can support them without stepping into their shoes. And sometimes, the greatest gift we can give isn’t solving their problems, but walking beside them while they learn to solve their own.
Because at the end of the day, carrying what isn’t ours doesn’t lighten their load - it only doubles the weight. Real love is lighter, freer, and truer.
Maybe the question worth asking is this:
Am I helping out of love, or holding on out of fear?
In learning the difference, we protect not just our well-being, but the authenticity of our connections.
