If you're tired, read this. Please.
Hey, amigo.
It's hard, isn't it?
I know. Sometimes, it's painful too.
Sometimes you really wanna give up, throw the books, hide in a corner and never take any action again.
I understand. I really do.
But I'm not here to collaborate on the pity party. I'm not going to join in on the groaning challenge, or complain about how hard it is.
First, get this though. It is hard. I won't lie. It is worth groaning upon. Maybe one or two pity parties are affordable too.
Yet, there's a pact we've make together, and I'd like to remind you of it, before we talk further. New here? We call it the Shush Pact.
Don't do it. Don't complain. Don't whine. Don't give in so easily. Don't.
Go ahead. Make the pact. Now.
Go on! Do it.
Tell yourself, today's hard. Tiring. But, I won't give in to this. Nor will I complain and moan about it, and waste my energy. Not today, Amelia! Today's not that day.
Done?
Sure?
Okay. Let's go.
If you're tired.
If you're tired, exhausted of the hustle, and almost at your breaking point, I want you to remember how MUCH this means to you.
I don't know what’s driving you nuts. Maybe it's a math problem you just can't crack. The presentation due next week that isn't up to the mark. Maybe it's 3 gigantic books you have to read up on before your next theology class. Perhaps your business has come at a standstill, and you can't get it to grow. Or maybe you hate your job, and have finally, bravely, taken the step to work the 6 hours after you come home on building the art portfolio of your dreams, because in your heart, you've always been an artist. Maybe you're juggling three jobs and working late nights to save enough money to catch the dream bus.
I don't know. But I do know that it means a lot to you.
I know how passionate you're about this, and how much it means to you.
And yet, you're tired.
You're tired of it!
You're tired of studying so much. You're tired of DMing every business in town, to have none reply back. You're tired of working so much, handling so much, and you feel like you haven't had a break since you were a kid. You're tired of the pressure, you're tired of the hustle and you just… wanna quit.
Don't.
Please.
It's hard to be positive in this dark, numb time and you're starting to work mechanically, questioning your existence with every hour, but I have to make you understand! You're worth this! You're so worthy of this, my love.
Please don't quit.
Don't give up. It's hard, but seal those lips, and trust your gut. I know you can make it. You've worked so hard for this! You've struggled so much, invested in so many weeks of work, and right now, at your breaking point, I want you to realise that you're worthy. Of getting that grade, that degree, finding a job you love, your crazy ambitions of opening a flower shop… everything! All of it!
You deserve the world.
Listen to me. Open your ear and listen: you're tired, yes. But here's the truth. You're not done yet.
You've got so much to prove to yourself. So many identities to identify yourself with. Exams to slay, jobs to get, money to make, dreams to build, people to meet and love to spread.
Listen. There's more to this. There's more to YOU.
Don't give up now.
Not today.
You're not done yet.
Tiredness will pass, and I want you to just try pushing through this. Just try. You'll see you're so capable of winning and it'll blow your mind when you look back and realise the strength you truly possessed because you were able to push through.
Winning is your blood. It's your oxygen.
Tiredness is a toxic. A poison. You're not tired, you just think you are. When the human brain says it's done, it's actually got 70% more to give.
Don't forget. Your legacy awaits. If this truly means everything to you, if you've already put in hundreds of hours of work into this, PUSH THROUGH! You've got to, because your future self deserves a better life! Don't let them tell you that you need a break. A Hawaii vacation. They'll say you're getting nowhere and urge you to take a break.
You and me, we both know you don't need one. You just needed a reminder of your capabilities.
And I've given you that now.
Just remember, you're not done yet.
So fuck tiredness.
Go win.

Anyone else feeling like their days are just a blur like you’re doing things but they’re not really the things that you should be doing? Anyways, I haven’t really done any school-related things for the past week bcs I’ve been having existential crises and questioning my life decisions due to being discouraged by the way my counselor (who’s supposed to support me and provide guidance to the college process) has treated all of my plans and has expressed his doubts about my abilities like, a couple of days ago, I literally knew exactly what I wanted and, if they didn’t work out, I created back-up plans yet I told him about it and he dismissed a majority of it and wants me to have a meeting with him so we can talk more about it (there’s literally no time to talk about it anymore) and, honestly y’all, I’m just so frustrated. He’s literally making me rethink every single thing. I’ve also started watching Love Island USA bcs, apparently, I cannot dedicate myself to finishing at least one series before suddenly starting a new one. Here’s another evidence of the effort I put in for APUSH last year, but ultimately didn’t go through with it! I hope y’all are having better days! ✨
