It’s hard not to feel like all I do is get knocked down. We’ve all heard the “get back up” variations to different hard scenarios in life. Where are the words of wisdom when you are tired of getting back up? Most people experience setbacks or changes that cause stress and emotional lows and they deal with it or they don’t. They adapt or they don’t. What about the “don’t” people? The people who are just tired. Tired of picking themselves up and brushing themselves off. Tired of being beat down. Tired of being tired.
It’s real. The feelings of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion are real. These are things I deal with every day and it has become commonplace.
There are (many) days that I wake up and think, “fuck… I woke up”. I get up, get my shot together, and get on with the day. Like Everlast said, “that's how I'm living, that's how it goes”, one day at a time. Tomorrow is tomorrows problem and there isn't a whole hell of a lot I can do about tomorrow.
So my ship drifts on… on the ocean that is my life and I try to enjoy the good days and survive the bad, one day at a time.
