"But I Am Le Tired"

Is anyone else completely exhausted?
Seriously.


I've heard it said that "if you're an adult, and you aren't tired all the time, then you aren't doing it right." But the amount of tired that I'm experiencing is absolutely ridiculous. And surely I can't be the only person who feels this way; between my friends who are married and have kids, those who are working on their Doctorate, those struggling to graduate from college, and everyone else going through their own issues, there HAS to be a ton of people that are totally wiped out.



I'm proud to say that I work hard. Every day. Even if I'm not at work, I work hard. I know that working the way I do is cause for me to be tired at the end of the day. But to be perpetually tired..? To wake up just as worn out as when you laid down? To go through your day like a zombie because, no matter how many cups of coffee you drink, you just can't seem to wake up? That seems like over-doing it to me.



Granted, I would rather wear out than to rust out; however, that does not mean that I want to be the first one to wear out. Every now and again I would like a day to just sleep in as late as possible. I just want to stay in comfy pants all day and not feel guilty about it. One day to not leave my house, not put any makeup on to impress other people. All I ask for is one day with no responsibilities so I can have fun in my own way: whether that is watching classic Disney movies all day, going on a road-trip with a friend, playing in the park with my kids, or simply laying in the grass making shapes out of the moving clouds, I just want a day here and there to be me, and catch up on rest.



I wish I could write more about this, but I can't. I'm literally so tired that I can't form the words. So, before my sleep-deprived causes me to write in incoherent babbles, does anybody else feel this way? Are you as tired as I am?
