Everyone's safe place in a world of chaos.
You are the person everyone leans on and nobody thinks to check on. Stable, loyal, and so quietly strong that people have forgotten you're even carrying weight — they just assume you're naturally unbothered. You're not. You feel everything. You just decided a long time ago that someone needs to hold the line, and you volunteered before anyone else could. Your friends fall apart and you hold them together. The world gets chaotic and you become the calm center. It's noble and it's necessary and it's slowly crushing you because the anchor doesn't get to float. Everyone is so used to you being strong that the idea of you breaking genuinely does not compute for them. That's the loneliest part.
