“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dear whoever is reading this: I wish you a life full of warmth and happiness and love. I hope you’re okay. And if you aren’t now, you will be.
Remember that you don't have to be drained of all your energy to finally rest. You don't have to be overwhelmed, exhausted, incapacitated or sick to finally take a break. You don't have to wait until you get worse and burn out to finally feel like you earned rest. Rest is not earned by being productive and overworking. It is a human right. It is a human need. You deserve to rest.
“This is what you have to ask yourself: Do you want to be good, or just seem good? Do you want to be good to yourself and others? Do you care about other people, always, sometimes, never? Or only when convenient? What kind of person do you want to be?”
