I'm tired of wars, politics, work, money, anxiety, relationships, expectations, and the endless noise that never seems to stop. I'm tired of carrying everything on my shoulders and pretending there's still room for more.
Iβve been thinking a lot about what I actually need to feel better in my life. Between work, lack of personal time, changes in my marriage, and everyday responsibilities, it feels like something is missing. This is an honest reflection on where I am and what I might need to move forward.
We spend so much of life in the anteroom. Waiting for the results, the call, the decision. I have been trying to get better at inhabiting the in-between.
Iβm exhausted from carrying everything in silence. I miss who I used to be, and all I want is one quiet day to breathe, to feel like myself again, and to put the weight down, even just for a moment.
I noticed a strange pattern: no matter how good my day at work is, my mood quietly collapses during the last hour of my shift. Not because Iβm tired but because I know Iβm heading back to a quieter life, fewer laughs, and responsibilities waiting at the door.
