There’s a moment when paying the bills stops feeling temporary.
You wake up, go to work, solve problems, come home, and do it all again.
At first, it feels like you're building something.
Then one day, you realize most of your energy goes into making sure nothing falls apart.
And that's the part people rarely see.
Not the work itself.
Just how long you've been carrying it.
