Rolled calls to check on friends.
Everyone is exhausted.
Everyone is feeling a little undercurrent of depression even if they’ve been alright and safe.
Everyone is behind or feeling distracted. No one is sure what their career or relationships promise next.
Everyone is doubting themselves.
And every single one of you is saying
“I’m weirdly tired, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”
Nothing is wrong with you.
You’re burnt out from a series of cellularly offensive years and from using all your vital life force energy, with all your might, to try and maintain equilibrium – for a YEAR now.
K?
You are good.
The outside world has been a nightmare.
Inspiration and motivation will hit you again.
Take it easy, but still take it.
Thinking of y’all.
