The other night I was exhausted.
I was mentally, physically, and emotionally drained.
And its funny, because I dont really show that part of myself to the world.

If Im feeling down, I give a shot to write about empowerment.
If Im tired, I make a run at write about motivation.
If Im sad, I have a go at write about feeling carefree.
Maybe its my little way of inspiring myself.
Maybe its slightly hypocritical (but with good intent).
Or maybe, some days, its almost as if Im living a lie.

But is it bad to want to present a certain persona to the rest of the world?
The entire day I had been pushing all the crap to the far sides of my brain.
I was ignoring the anxiety bubbling up in my belly.
I was busying myself with obligations and emails and other random, useless thoughts.
But thats not how life works, is it?
Sitting there, I started to acknowledge why I felt like absolute hell.
I was pushing myself too hard.
I was taking on problems that werent mine to carry.
I was spreading myself too thin.
I was letting what I couldnt control stress me out.
I was focusing on the negative more than the positive.
I was letting fear take over.Yikes.
WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS.
Everyone has things theyre going through.
Everyone has days where theyre just completely, utterly, totally exhausted by the world.
And as awful as that is, isnt it weirdly comforting, too?
Were all going through sh*t. Were all struggling.
Were all trying to keep our heads afloat and make sense of the world around us.
Were all coming home after a long day of work and wondering if were on the right path.
So I want you to know somethingyou are not alone.
But your struggle is valid.
Your exhaustion is warranted.
Your cries are heard.
Its okay to be wherever you are, and feel whatever you feel.Its okay, damn it.
So kindly dont beat yourself up.
Every day is a process, a journey, a battle.And youre not alone in your fight.
