You called it kindness.
You called it care.
But really, you disappeared
so they wouldn’t leave.
Fawning isn’t weakness —
it’s survival.
A way your nervous system said:
“If I stay soft enough, maybe I’ll stay safe enough.”
But now, safety doesn’t have to mean self-erasure.
Your no is sacred too.
A Note of Care
This site was created with love and reflection — not as therapy, but as a soft place to land.
It’s not here to replace professional help. It’s here to remind you that you matter — and to offer a pause, a question, a bit of breath in the in-between.
If you’re ever in crisis or need someone to talk to, I’ve placed this page at the bottom of every page with care, so you can find help easily if you need it. ♥
You don’t have to carry it all alone.
