At some point, life stops asking politely.

You can still function. Still work. Still care for other people. But something inside you grows tired in a way sleep does not fix — tired of carrying, tired of enduring, tired of living from obligation instead of truth.

This is not a guide to fixing yourself. It is an invitation back to yourself.
