“You are not responsible for other people’s happiness. You can contribute to it, but you are not ultimately responsible for someone else being happy or not.”

Carrying the emotional load of others will drain you. You can care deeply and still let people be responsible for their own lives. Detach with love, and prioritize your peace. Supporting someone is generous, but self-sacrifice is not sustainable. There’s a big difference. Know when to step back and let others find their own way.
