I Don’t Want to Keep On Going…

I’d rather just sit here and catch my breath.

There are times in life when everything flows easily. My energy level is up, my mind is clear. I feel motivated and successful. This is NOT one of those times.

Right now, I’m struggling. The world feels heavy. Like someone turned up the gravity kind of heavy. I am exhausted.

For the love of God, I just want to sit down. Just sit. Better yet, take a long nap. Okay, let’s be real. I may need to hibernate.

I can’t possibly be alone in this. I see other tired people. Every short tempered person that gets a little more agitated than they should at something? They know. I see you, tired people.

We’re supposed to suck it up though, right? Just keep on going and it will get better and eventually we’ll get up that mountain.

I don’t know what your mountain looks like but mine feel like it resembles Kilimanjaro piled on top of Everest. I feel like if I power up that mountain my legs are going to fall off. I like my legs to stay on my body.
