The calmest person in the room may be the most tired person in the room.
This is the person who never complains, always shows up, keeps it together for everyone. It’s easy to overlook checking on them, because they've made everything look fine. So fine that nobody remembers to ask what they actually need.
They're the one holding the finances, the family, the emotions, their kids' future, their own pain all at once that even they forget what it feels like to put it down.
Sometimes the person who never asks for anything has just stopped expecting anyone to ask them.
Check in on your strong ones. They may need it more than they’ll ever say, and even if they don’t, they’ll feel the love.
