I went to the back at work and cried today.....
Wednesday started at 6 AM and didn’t end until midnight. Thursday morning, I was back at it by 6 AM. By the time I walked into Walmart, I felt like I was dragging my whole body through the door. Down to my last 2%.
I clocked in, grabbed my keys, and went onto the sales floor. While opening a case for a lady, she stopped me.
“I respect your hustle. I see you working three jobs.”
She told me she’s a single parent working three jobs herself, and that seeing what I do inspires her.
That hit me harder than she probably realized.
She caught me at a moment when I was just trying to make it through. I went to the back, cried, and wrote it down because I didn’t want to forget what her words meant to me.
Sometimes a simple “I see you” reaches someone deeper than you’ll ever know.
To everyone carrying responsibilities while running on empty: your effort matters. You deserve kindness, recognition, and a chance to catch your breath.
And if you respect someone, tell them. Your words might be the encouragement they needed that day. ❤️
