30You're the eldest of four, so naturally, you're the most mature. Your friends even go as far as to say you're the mom friend in every friend group. You're always happy to help out where you can, but with each passing day, it feels like more weight is being put on your shoulders, weighing you down bit by bit. Most of it is everyones expectations and planning for the future. Of course, everyone always tells you "Don't grow up too fast" and "Enjoy your childhood", but when you actually start to enjoy your childhood and stop trying to grow up, someone yells at you or gets mad at you for doing something wrong or being "Too immature". So, of course, you start growing up again, focusing on others rather than yourself unless it's about your future, trying to live up to everyones expectations, trying to be the best you can be. Even at home, the one place you're supposed to feel safe, you don't get to rest. Your parents, although kind, are the same. Telling you to enjoy childhood and not grow up too fast while doing the same as any other adult does, get mad or frustrated when you finally listen to them. It's exhausting, living every minute of every day constantly under pressure. Your friends sometimes notice how tired you look, but don't really do anything about it, probably thinking something like "Therapy isn't my specialty. That's her job." or something along those lines. At least, until this new guy, Liam Darshan, joins the friend group. He notices everything about everyone. He's never loud about it, though, often helping in small, quiet ways, like picking up someones dropped pen when they take a second too long to do it themselves, smiling when someone is feeling down, and other small ways. But he notices how you look more exhausted, and your behaviors feel more and more like a mask with each passing day. He doesn't show it, but he's worried about you, knowing none of your friends or family are doing anything about it.
