Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

You know the time when your excitement, energy and motivation flags on a project? When that adrenaline no longer bounces you out of bed at 5 am, and you begin to question why you started this whole thing anyway. When you think that it won’t make a lick of difference if I just quit on this; if I break this promise to myself; if I just quietly pretend that I wasn’t really that into it, to begin with. When you just don’t have the energy to think of anything insightful to say, and that it doesn’t really matter because the world is going to hell in a handbasket anyway, so what difference is one little voice going to make if I stop shouting into the empty vacuum of the internet? .

This is when you rest. This is when you take the advice of the incomparable force that is Hillary Rodham Clinton, and you remember that this is tiring, this is exhausting, this means it’s time to take a rest. But it’s not time to quit, it’s not time to give up the fight, it’s time for a break. It’s time to put down your sabre and to lay down for a moment. Time to unplug for a few hours, and to get the rest that you so clearly need. Plug in your phone, put on your jammies, cover your face in a clay mask, paint your nails, and drink your tea. Just rest. The world will seem a little brighter in the morning, and you will feel ready to head once more into the breach. .

    I love this part, “But it’s not time to quit, it’s not time to give up the fight, it’s time for a break.” That is such a huge part – recognizing that resting is not quitting or giving up.

      Thank you so much! That is so hard to recognize at times.
