This isn’t just “need a nap” tired. It’s the kind of tired that sinks into your bones. The emotional, mental, “I’ve been carrying too much for too long” kind of tired.
I’m tired of being strong all the time. Tired of pretending I’m okay when I’m not. Tired of saying yes when I need to say no.
So today, I’m resting. Not just sleeping, but resting—my mind, my body, my boundaries.
The world can wait. Right now, I need to put myself first. Refill before I run empty. And that’s not selfish—it’s necessary.
