Sometimes it be your own people
Sometimes the closest people to you hurt you the most.
You could be crying in front of them and they won’t even give you a tissue.
That’s the reality nobody talks about.
Building is a lonely road, Especially if you’re a solopreneur.
Because everyone else has a life too.
Just because you’re building something doesn’t make you more important than them.
They have their own problems, Their own stress,Their own things going on.
I get that.
But it’d be nice to get the same love I give back from people.
I show up for the people around me.
I support them. I’m there when they need me.
And when I need that same energy back??
They’re not bad people.
I’m guessing they’re focused on their own life.
Which is fair. But it still feels shit.
You realise pretty quick that nobody’s going to care about your dreams as much as you do.
Nobody’s going to check in on you when you’re struggling.
And when you try to share that with the people closest to you, they don’t really give you anything. OT just seems like they don’t have the capacity to care.
So it feels like you’re just better off keeping it to yourself.
It’s all good though, Keep pushing through the hard days without anyone really knowing what you’re going through.
That’s just how it is.
Building something is isolating because most people aren’t doing it.
So they can’t relate.
And the people who love you? They care about you, but they’re not living your life. They have their own.
So yeah. It’s lonely.
I just wish the people I show up for would show up for me the same way.
But they won’t. And that’s something I’m learning to accept.
You can’t expect people to give you what they don’t have to give.
Even the ones closest to you.
