Down But Not Out

Today I am acknowledging my exhaustion. I am beyond tired. So I am taking a step back.

The toll the past few months has been heavy: on my body, my mind, my heart and my soul.

So it’s time for me to take a break. Although I do not necessarily know what that entails, I know that I NEED to be doing something else.

It feels like my heart has been broken and I am going through the different stages of loss. That is why I am raising my hands as a temporary surrender lest I fall into dark times again.

Bowed, beaten and bloodied, I will lick my wounds and pray to whoever wants to listen that I come out of this stronger, wiser and braver than ever before.

But for now, I rest.
