Load-Bearing

Load-Bearing

Definition

Capable of supporting weight or structural stress; a wall or beam that holds the building upright.

Interpretation

To carry with purpose. Load-bearing is the silent strength of any home β€” the backbone that doesn’t brag. In life, it’s the roles, routines, and relationships that quietly keep us upright.
