Cancer

I need you to actually feel this one before you fix it. Someone's gonna come to you this week asking for something that sounds small and reasonable, and you're gonna say yes before your gut even finishes the sentence. The thing is, your gut's right — it's just tired. October's that weird stretch where the light's finally staying past dinner but everything still feels like it's shutting down, and you're running on fumes trying to keep everyone else warm. You can't pour from an empty cup, I know you've heard it a million times, but you also won't actually listen until you're already empty. So here's your job: notice what you're about to agree to, then sit with it for like, actual hours before you say anything back. Your people will understand. The ones who don't aren't your people anyway.
