When Everyone Eats, I Starve

Jasmine has spent her entire life being the person everyone can count on.

Her family needs money? She sends it.

Someone needs a problem fixed? She handles it.

Her job needs more than anyone should reasonably give? She gives that too.

And when Vincent enters her life, he seems different. Easy. Supportive. The first person who doesn’t appear to need anything from her.

Until he does.

Little by little, Jasmine’s time, money, peace, and stability begin disappearing. A favor here. An expense there. One more person assuming she’ll figure everything out because she always has.

Then her home is gone.

Her career begins slipping.

Her relationship reveals itself for what it really is.

And Jasmine is forced to confront a brutal truth:

Everybody loves being fed by the woman who never admits she’s starving.

With nothing left to give, Jasmine finally does the one thing nobody around her expects.

She stops.

When Everyone Eats, I Starve is an emotionally charged story about one woman’s breaking point, the hidden cost of being “the strong one,” and what happens when she finally chooses herself over everyone who became comfortable consuming her.

Because sometimes losing everything is the only way to discover what was never yours to carry.
