I dream about this. Just leaving for some time for myself. Being able to just go without having to worry about anything. Time to just ... be.

Yeah, ok, sure Karen...you're tired. .
.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TIRED MEANS!
.
.
.
I used to think after a long day at work I was tired. Or after staying out too late with friends the night before and getting up at 8am. I thought I knew what it meant to be tired.
.
.
Then I had children. .
.
I had no idea the bone deep level of exhaustion a person could reach. A to your soul emotionally and physically draining exhaustion. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change a second of it. I love my kids and my life...but I would be lying if I said it wasn't draining. .
.
It is. .

This week has been very long and very tiring. I feel exhausted down to my soul. I have been over-momed, over worked, gotten sad news about the loss of a family member, I am dealing with worry over my own health...I need to rest. .
.
I need to replenish. .
.
I need to have time for me so I can go back to being there for everyone else.
.
.
And it is ok to need that.

Life has been a rollercoaster of emotions, good times and bad, struggles and victories. No matter what has come my way I have figured it out and found a way through. .

Dear Me,
.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you tried so desperately to fix others, when your own hands were shaking. I'm sorry that I didn't give you enough time to heal, that I let you seal the wounds of everyone else whilst yours were still bleeding. I'm sorry that there were days when smiling hurt but you forced yourself to laugh so that no one had to worry about you. I'm sorry that you gave all your time and effort to people who didn't give the same amount back. I'm sorry that there were nights when you cried yourself to sleep and no one bothered to understand why. And I sorry I did not love you, like you deserved to be loved.....
.
.
It is never too late to give yourself the love, patience, compassion and attention that you need. Love yourself.
.

If they don't die they will at the very least fall down and break something.

I am super selective about who I let into my life. The people I choose to be a part of life are there because they are amazingly good people.
.
.
I know that I can't trust them and will give them my unconditional respect, love and support. I will lift them up, celebrate and support them because I know they will do the same.
.
.
Who you have in your tribe, your circle, you life is very important. Your tribe is your lifeline sometimes, make sure you have a good one.

I always try to remember this when things get hard or don't go the way I want them to. .
.
Sometimes you just have to believe that the universe has your back and is looking out for you. If something didn't work out maybe it wasn't meant to and it is actually a blessing.
.
.
Hard times can help you become the person you need to be. They help form you and prepare you for what is coming your way. Ensuring that you are ready.
