You take out the trash. You fix what breaks. You make the grocery runs. You remember appointments, pay the bills, cover the unexpected. Sometimes you even cook. Or clean. Or wash clothes you didn’t wear.

You still take care of everything that needs doing. But you’ve noticed something that you don’t want to admit out loud. Something that feels small at first, but grows over time.
