I hope you're allowing yourself softness when you're tired. I hope you know you deserve it. I hope you're not judging yourself for feeling incapable or falling behind. You're expected to work hard, to make a living, because success is always presented as something you must constantly chase. And of course, you can't neglect your family. Relationships are said to hold the highest value, and you're responsible for caring for them too. At the same time, you're told to prioritise movement, to stay in shape, because first impressions matter. You must be healthy, because energy is currency. But exercising alone isn't enough. You have to monitor your diet as well, read ingredient labels, and question what's real and what's organic, because nothing seems authentic anymore. You're supposed to improve your sleep habits too, to wind down properly and rest, somehow fitting that in as well. And you certainly can't turn down invitations, because connections are vital. You can't stay at home too often. There's too much to see, too much to experience. Life isn't easy, even if people online try to convince you otherwise. And that's exhausting and overwhelming.
