3. It can't be helped.
Fri May 16, 2025, 12:59 AM
Friday

I've been a strong being my whole life until I wasn't.

Lately saying things like: I've reached the brink of my endurance or I'm approaching the realm of 'unbearable' or like that.
It happens. Plus all the rubbish we're witnessing [and you know what I'm referring to] just compounds stuff blowiing it out of proportion.

I have a shabby chic sign in my kitchen/dining area: "Let whatever you do today be enough." Do I abide by it? No, I don't. And like you, I feel guilty for feeling sorry for myself knowing I have it pretty good contrasted with others who have a life involving suffering unimaginable.

Peace Be Unto You.
