Gently the waves would break (Lily heard them in her sleep); tenderly the light fell (it seemed to come through her eyelids). And it all looked, Mr. Carmichael thought, shutting his book, falling asleep, much as it used to look years ago.
Virginia Woolf
The tasks you have taken on without being asked are often the ones you do best, and also the ones that exhaust you in ways you cannot explain to anyone else. You step into the gap not because you see it clearly but because something in you cannot bear to watch it stay empty. There is a part of you that moves toward what needs doing before your adult mind has even registered the need. This automatic stepping forward is both your gift and the reason you sometimes feel like you are managing a life that belongs to someone who never learned to ask for help.
