i am tired. i am burned out. i feel drained and empty. lately, life feels so hard. every day feels like a battle. i keep pushing myself to keep going, but some days i barely have the strength. i smile when i can, but deep inside, i am exhausted. i am carrying so much pain that no one sees. i am tired of pretending that i am okay when i am not. i just want a moment to rest, to breathe, and to feel like everything will be alright again.
