Take it into consideration – you might mess it up because of the third thing.
You will manage your body, your pain, your energy. That is one.
You will show up for life – for others, for work, for the moments that matter. That is two.
Then comes the third thing – the wanting.
The thank you, the “you r amazing” the proof that someone noticed.
But listen: the third thing isn’t in your control.
And even when it shows up, it doesn’t last. It fades quick.
The third thing is rubbish.
You take care of yourself, you fight through the years, you stay kind, patient, helpful – that is your part.
Whether anyone sees it, gets it or ever says a word? Fuck it.
And the moment you stop waiting for it – that is when life starts feeling lighter again.
