I am tired of being emotionally useful

Dear Delyara, I listened to people all day. Colleagues, family, someone online, someone in my messages, someone needing my understanding, someone needing my patience, someone needing me to be sensible. I know how to do that. I know how to become useful in emotional situations. I’m just tired of always being that person. Some nights I don’t want to hold space. I want to be held in it.
