for a long time i thought burnout just meant being overworked.

but i’m realizing mine felt more like disconnection.
disconnecting from myself.

from my intuition.

from the parts of me that knew something felt off.
i kept trying to “recover” without actually acknowledging what i was feeling.
and honestly…

journaling has been one of the first things helping me slow down enough to hear myself again.

i think part of burnout is realizing how long you’ve been emotionally bypassing yourself just to keep functioning.

Associates — does this match your reality? I want to know if I’m the only one living this.

because when everyone around you keeps telling you you’re doing the “right thing,” it becomes really easy to ignore yourself.

still figuring it out in real time 💛

i thought journaling would help me “figure things out.”

but honestly it’s mostly been helping me finally acknowledge things i already knew deep down.

still no perfect answers.

just more honesty lately 💛

i think a lot of people from older generations spent their whole lives trying to survive while quietly dreaming of something softer for the people they loved.
maybe that’s why i think so much now about building a life that feels like more than just survival mode 🤍
