Sometimes we simply run out of gas. Obligations become too much and it seems like the responsibilities we've signed ourselves up for overcome our lives. I'm in the middle of a 12-hour homework/work binge and I am not nearly finished with the millions of things I have to get done. I've spent the last 15 hours trying to get all of these things finished. I got up at 10:30 a.m. to start on homework, which I did until I took a thirty-minute break to have lunch with my boyfriend, then spend four hours babysitting three kids who had two temper tantrums during that period. Then I came home only to start doing more homework, edit articles, and write this one. Tomorrow, I'll wake up and do even more homework for a few hours until I have to go to a family function and then to a concert that I spent a lot of money on tickets for two months ago. I'm watching Snapchat stories my friends out at parties and bars, and can literally hear groups of people on my street waiting for their Ubers to take them to some social gatherings.
I am exhausted.
I am literally so tired. I haven't been out and social for a whole month, but I've still been overwhelmed just in this past 24 hours by my life. But, sometimes it just happens.
Sometimes we are so overworked by our obligations that we forget to take a second to breathe. While my moment won't happen for another 24 hours, and it will only last for a little while considering the next crazy week of work I have ahead of me. I am so excited for my moment of peace. I know that stress becomes just another thing we have to deal with, and being stressed because of how stressed you already are is just really... well... stressful. Every person deals with these kind of overwhelming times in their lives. I know that in one week when I get all of my stuff done and I'm relaxing in Florida on Spring Break with my group of friends, I won't remember this. Even though I have no motivation to re-vamp my brain and get back to being eager to get my stuff done, I'm going to do it. I'm going to finish my things and then enjoy some time to myself.
I have no idea where I was going with this article. Literally, none. I just hopped on and words started spilling out. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's perfectly normal to feel stressed, overwhelmed, and overworked. But, you just have to power through it and then reward yourself once you've done it. I have faith in you.
