Exhaustion

I feel thoroughly exhausted today. Not like one of those days where you can watch a show, listen to music, or take a nap and bounce back, no; It feels like life has taken the attempted fruits of my endeavors and beaten me down into a pulp. It’s one of those days where I feel like the best I can do is simply exist, rather than live, because living takes up more energy than I can provide right now. It’s rough. But, that’s alright, I think. I’ve had these days before, and I’ve managed to nourish myself back to times where I feel like I can thrive again. I’m sure I’ll have more of these days in the future, too, both of exhaustion and of energy.

“Healing is a workout,” a close friend recently told me. Existing definitely feels like a workout currently.

I feel thankful that I have companions who can water my garden for me and help me heal when I’m too exhausted in the moment to do it myself.
