Why do I always seem to be the one left holding the bag? It's not like I ask for these things to happen, but somehow, they always find their way to me. Whether it's a last-minute work project, a friend in need, or an unexpected family crisis, it feels as though life has made it its personal mission to ensure that I'm the one who deals with everything.

It’s not that I mind helping out; it’s just that sometimes, it feels overwhelming. The constant stream of responsibilities can take a toll on my mental and emotional well-being. There are days when I wonder if others have it easier, if they get to enjoy life more freely without the weight of the world on their shoulders.

Yet, amidst all this, there is a sense of responsibility that keeps me going. I know that by being there for others, I’m making a positive difference in their lives. It’s a reminder that even when things feel unfair, there is still value in stepping up and doing what needs to be done. Maybe someday, the balance will shift, and I’ll get to be on the receiving end more often. Until then, I’ll keep pushing through, knowing that every challenge faced is another step toward growth.
