Back to blog- I don't know how to ask for help
Almost a year into a job I've mostly carried alone, and the hardest part hasn't been the work. It's been admitting I need rest, and saying the things I'm owed out loud.
- Writing it down
A follow-up to the queue. On turning instinct into documentation, handing pieces of myself over, and the quiet discomfort of becoming legible.
- When the queue filled again
On colleagues arriving, becoming the living documentation, and feeling like you're failing at something you built yourself.
- Clearing the Queue
On finally getting backup, letting someone go, and what's left when you stop running from yourself.
- Knowing Your Worth (And Saying Nothing)
On the particular silence of someone who already knows exactly what they're worth, having already talked themselves out of saying it before anyone else gets the chance.
- One pair of hands
On carrying everything alone: the tickets, the silence, the grief, and the people I can't quite reach.
- Unexpected Variables
On suddenly carrying too much, being seen by the wrong person at the right time, and not knowing what to do with that.
