Trust your time

 An open letter to those who are exhausted:

 

I know you are exhausted. You are tired of many things in life that you no longer have the energy to do the things that you used to love doing. You are tired of dealing with many people because your social battery is in the worst condition. We often associate productivity with accomplishing a lot of things, so you only do the things you do because you are required to do them. 


There are days like this when you are tired of a lot of things in life, that you are already tired of being tired. You just want to survive and make ends meet. People will always advise you to keep fighting when life knocks you down. And while I know they mean well, I also know that sometimes, what you truly need isn’t words of encouragement but the safe space to feel what you’re feeling, to admit that you’re exhausted.


I hope you will have even just a fleeting moment to rest and then back to fighting in life again. You don’t have to push yourself beyond your limits just to prove your strength, since no matter how strong you are, you will eventually experience burnout.


Nonetheless, may we finally have the rest we deserve that will lead as back to the person that we were before we became exhausted. No matter how tough things seem now, trust that in time, everything will fall into place.
