You ever find yourself thinking, “I can do more,”

But then look in the mirror like, “Bro I’m already doing everything.”

I’m trying to work,

trying to be the best mom/dad I can be, 

tryna be a good wife/husband while at the same time 

trying to be the best me I can be and 

I’m barely surviving in those categories.

Today  I  felt that, But then this voice in my head, which normally I appreciate because it pushes me to go harder, to be victorious, to not settle, and to always want to be my best and never just okay, that voice started to speak.

Talking about, “But you haven’t given everything, you can do more.”

And I don’t know about yall but today I was like

Girl if you don’t shut the heck up. Like regardless if I have it to give or not,

right now I can’t.

Right now I just need to be okay, so that tomorrow I can actually be great.

Today ima have to survive because if I give everything that I have in me right now I  can’t sustain that for the rest of my life.

So Little girl in my head that always has something to say. I’m tired and I need a break, so regardless of what I got to give today is my day off.

Also if you feel this and have been here please know it is okay to take a break, maybe even cry or have a breakdown, but pause those insanely high standards and expectations you  have placed on yourself and realize you are human and you need to rest and that is okay.
