Maybe you weren’t being “too nice.”
Maybe you were surviving —
calming others to stay safe,
making peace to avoid harm.
Tend / Befriend isn’t weakness.
It’s wisdom from a nervous system
that learned:
connection can protect you.
But now, you get to ask:
What if that tenderness
could include you 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.
