Millennials, you're not alone in that exhaustion.

I'm seeing "Millennials" trending today, and it... it makes me pause. Not for the headlines, but for the weight I know that generation is carrying. Especially our Black and Brown sisters in that group.

They're out here navigating a world that told them they could have it all, and then handed them a bill for every single piece of it. They're caring for aging parents, raising young children, building careers, and still trying to figure out how to breathe in between. I see the glory, but I honor the story. That story is often one of quiet exhaustion, of feeling like they have to keep running a race that finished ten years ago.

You are not alone in that feeling, sis. Take a breath. You are safe to be human here. We don't do 'fine' in this corner. We do honest. And honestly, it's a lot. You are allowed to acknowledge that. You are allowed to ask for what you need. And you are so, so worthy of rest.
