I'M TIRED

 You won't  be able to do it all, sometimes. Life has a way of bombarding us with expectations, responsibilities, and commitments that eat away at the time spent on self-expression: time for focusing on oneself and relieving any suppressed emotions from over the course of the day. If we don't prioritize time for ourselves in the midst of everyday chaos, it can be perceived as a form of disrespect towards oneself. To think that , out of 24 hours, we neglect moments of reflection and realization in place of what the world deems as important, can be disheartening. We tend to hurt ourselves in the process of trying to please everyone and satisfy the unwavering high standards we maintain. We spend sleepless nights finishing assignments, adhering to the disparities of others, and disregarding the increasing distance between ourselves and the advancement upon the path of self-discovery. Consistent mental breakdowns should not be normal. You shouldn't have to force-feed yourself against a stomach that remains full of anxiety, impatience and falsified fear of letting yourself down. Loneliness and misunderstanding shouldn't leave you paralyzed in hysterical tears that makes you question what exactly you're doing in life . Oftentimes , trying to achieve everything at the same time isn't the pathway to clarity, but rather that of confusion. Realize that, as a human being , you're doing the very best you can to make the ends meet , but at the prize of your mental health. Life will keep throwing dodgeball at you and it gets to the point where you have to pick your battles instead fighting them all at once for the sake of your sanity. You can't expect yourself to operate at an optimum level with an internal tank that's running low on physical and emotional energy. In a world that has the tendency to distract you from the importance of self-care, have the courage to put your well-being at the forefront. Only then can you contribute to the world in the most genuine and heartfelt of ways.
