Still recovering after this video…PANICCC

You guys are my pastor this is my confession

The word “burnout” has been on my mind a lot lately. I think when you’re high-achieving (or neurotic hahah), it’s easy to lose sight of life beyond just the things you’ve done “well” or the moments you’ve classically succeeded. Cool jobs. Promotions. Buying a house. Etc. etc. Constantly feeling like there is a better version of you out there somewhere, or that you’re letting down old versions of you has lead to some pretty serious exhaustion. I often wonder why being content is so challenging for me. I think I’ve always thought that feeling content would equal not striving for more. Or having a lack of ambition. As someone in the arena, that never sat right with me. But ya girl is tired. So I’m trying to reframe how I think about life, success, taking breaks. This is sort of the amalgamation of yesterday’s journal thoughts on those things.

Not me crying in the michaels parking lot like CMON
