I feel so tired.

So tired from trying so hard and failing over and over again.

So tired out by bad luck, by sadness, by sickness, by hope.

So tired from trying to be grateful, to put a cheerful face on it.

So tired from willing myself to believe that things will get better.

So tired from hard work and determination that gets me nowhere.

So tired from holding on, from believing that good times are just around the corner.

I feel so tired and I want some rest. I don’t want my whole life to be an endless scraping and striving to convince the world that I have value, that I’m worth keeping alive.

I just want to live. Is that so much to ask?

I feel the same way, but dont let all of it get to you. It may sound negative but suffering and pain will let us grow and makes us appreciate the pleasure of success even more. Keep chugging along there is almost always a happy ending for those who strive and give their all in their pursuit.

Right there with ya! I know what you mean 😕💗
