The Nurturer

You're the glue. Not in a boring way — in the way that everything falls apart without you and nobody notices until you're gone. You hold together friend groups, families, workplaces. You remember the birthdays, you check in after the hard conversations, you notice when someone's smile doesn't reach their eyes.

Your love adapts. It's not one-size-fits-all. You know exactly what each person needs — who needs a hug, who needs a kick, who needs to be left alone. That's not people-pleasing. That's emotional intelligence so deep it looks like magic.

Sometimes you forget to nurture yourself. That's the shadow side of your gift. But when you finally let someone take care of you — when you exhale and let your guard down — that's when you discover that your capacity for love includes you, too.
