Called Out — And Maybe I Needed It
Today someone close to me called me out. They told me straight up: “You’re stuck. You’re checked out.”
And the truth is… they’re not wrong.
I’ve been going through the motions lately. Showing up, but not really showing up. My mind’s been somewhere else maybe in the past, maybe in the worry, maybe in the “what’s next” that I can’t quite figure out.
It’s a hard pill to swallow when someone who cares about you sees what you’ve been trying to hide. But sometimes that’s the wake-up call we need not to shame us, but to remind us we’re drifting.
And drifting is dangerous.
So yeah… maybe I am stuck. Maybe I did check out a bit. But I’m still fighting. I’m still here. And the fact someone noticed means I’m not invisible in the struggle.
This community Unbreakable exists for days like this. Days when you don’t feel strong. Days when someone holds a mirror up to your face and you don’t like what you see.
I’m not pretending I have the answer yet. But I’m not ignoring it anymore either.
If you’ve ever been called out like this… how did you pull yourself back in? Let’s talk I can use some insight from the community on this one.
