You’re not the hero of the story. That’s good news, because the hero never loses.

Being the main character sounds like a compliment until you notice what it requires. If everything depends on you, then every bad day is a structural failure and every weakness threatens the plot. Stepping out of that role is relief rather than demotion, because the one actually holding the story does not lose. You get to be a real person inside it instead of the load-bearing wall.

Find where you are carrying something never assigned to you. The mood of the whole house, a friend group’s peace, the result of a thing you cannot control. Hand one of those back and see what still stands.
