Dear life I am so tired…but I will keep going

Something they never told me about life is that it is ever changing. We all have this vision about things occurring a certain way and have a whole plan curated in our minds. Little do we know that plans can change, and we can’t do much about this except just keep going. 

I think what is essential during this time is to have perspective. So what if things didn’t go as planned? How far are we from the target? What can we do to ensure we still make it? I talk to myself actively and remind myself that it’s alright we are still making progress, and we will not lose heart. 

Do I get tired? Yes. Sometimes, getting out of bed can be the biggest mission. However, I take things slower. I check in with myself and do some things little by little because even a little progress is progress. 

I know how far I’ve come to quit; I’ve overcome too much to turn around now. It's just pushing through until the hard work is done.  The key to the game is consistency.

I want you to understand that we all get tired. No one is constantly feeling their 100%. No matter how aesthetic you make your routine or whether you romanticize your life, your brain and body will not always be on board because we are humans, and we have our limits. And this is entirely okay. Take the breaks you need to regain control of your true self so you can be the person you were meant to be and do the things you need to do to make the difference you make.
