If you've ever left a full room feeling more alone than when you arrived


Healing With Amy
Published 1 week ago

You didn't stop caring about people. You stopped being able to pretend that certain connections still fit.
That's not the same thing.
There's a kind of loneliness that doesn't come from being alone. It comes from being around people who can't quite see you — and smiling through it anyway.
If you've been pulling back lately and feeling guilty about it — this is for you.
Some connections restore you. Some just remind you how much you've grown.
Your nervous system knows the difference even when your mind is still making excuses for people.
Write Sherpa in the comments. Your people are out there.
