I Had To Rest

One thing I had to forcefully learn recently is that it’s okay to rest. After an intense month of several debate competition rounds, I find myself waking exhausted and unable to enjoy anything except reading and cooking for myself.

For someone who has been smashing goals, it had been frustrating trying so hard to drag myself from the bed or do things I’d normally enjoy.

I haven’t actively written for myself in a while or written in my journal. I’ve also not hung out with my friends in a while or even exfoilated.

My morning and night routine in shambles as I force myself to get dressed for class.

I am exhausted and burnt out. It was hard but I had to realize that it’s okay to not do anything and just rest. It’s okay to not do anything super productive and recover from every mental, emotional and physical rut.

I never thought that my last days in this biological year would be like this but that’s fine too. I’m going to rest and nurture myself - body, soul and spirit. As always, I’ll figure it out.
