You’ve carried expectations for yourself and others that aren’t always realistic. You try to meet them, strive to excel, and give more than you have, hoping it will be enough. And yet, it often feels like nothing ever is. That exhaustion is real, but it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human. Let go of the impossible standards and give yourself permission to simply exist sometimes. Meeting your own needs matters as much as meeting anyone else’s, maybe even more.
