Thought of the Day: It’s Not Your Fault

By J.E. Nickerson

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to be there for someone, your words just don’t land.

Not because you failed.

Not because you didn’t care.

But because they’re tired.

Stressed.

Overwhelmed by their own storm.

And it hurts — deeply — when your love meets a wall instead of a heart.

But hear this:

It’s not your fault.

You showed up. You gave. You tried again. And that matters.

It’s okay to feel worn out when love feels one-sided.

It’s okay to need rest, too.

Let this be your reminder: even the strongest hearts need room to breathe.

If today has left you feeling unseen, give yourself the grace you would give someone else. You’re allowed to need care, too. For more reminders like this, explore my books or visit the blog.
