The Hidden Weight You Carry (That No One Sees)

It’s the pressure of being the steady one.
The one who holds it together.
The one people rely on.

Most of us carry that weight quietly.
We don’t talk about it.
We don’t drop it.

We just keep moving.

Not because we’re trying to prove anything. But because we don’t know where else to put it.

Responsibility.
Provision.
Expectation.
Fatherhood.
Leadership.
Legacy.

It all adds up.

And the world tends to cheer you on for how well you carry it—not ask if it’s starting to crush you.

This isn’t about complaining.
It’s about naming the load.

Because once we do that, we can start to do something about it—together.
