Unease washes over you as you realize you're not thriving. This is so rough. Witnessing is often a journey filled with emotional challenges, leaving you grappling with a deep sense of fear and uncertainty. You notice subtle changes in yourself -your demeanor—perhaps it's something about how you carry yourself, sadness in your eyes, or a reluctance to share your thoughts/feelings. Sometimes, it's as if you're watching the light within you dim. You try to connect, yet a part remains closed off, wrapped in your world of turmoil. Memories of energetic, happy, and fearless times haunt you, enforcing your belief that you deserve support.
