She confided in me that she was having a hard time managing her energy while supporting other friends and colleagues who were all going through their own difficult experiences, in addition to the pandemic. \n\nI acknowledged that it was indeed a lot, and because I care about her, I encouraged her to protect space for herself, too. \n\nI know this personally.
