You’re doing your best, not faking perfect. It’s a softer truth that opens room for connection.

Vulnerable, but hopeful. Lets people know something’s up without overwhelming the space.

When emotions feel messy and unnamed, this line gives you time , and others understanding.

Acknowledges their care and your effort. You’re not dismissing them, or yourself.

A gentle boundary. You’re not shutting down, just asking for safety and space.
