Battery low…

Not just the woman speaking from my hearing aids this morning but my internal batteries.

I feel like I need to unplug and recharge. I literally sent out a public service announcement this morning saying I wasn’t in the mood. I can’t be the only one thinking this. Overwhelmed. In over your head. Can’t find a second to yourself.

No hearing aids, no phone, no contact. Just me, an iced coffee, and the sun.

A time to reflect on my own personal issues going on. A time to pause and listen to the sound of actual silence. A time to break free from the stigma that says we need to be attached to our phones at all times.

I am so emotionally and physically exhausted.

When do I get to catch a break? I feel like I’m watching the day pass by in slow motion. I can’t catch my breath. Everyone needs, wants, or expects something from me. And I have nothing to give.

I didn’t choose to live to be stressed all the time. Life isn’t always roses and butterflies but there has to be a happy medium. I’m drowning over here. Figuratively, but someone send a lifeboat anyway.

For now, I’m putting myself to bed because that’s what my body is telling me I need to do.
