I am so tired of trying.
Trying to make life work with a limited amount of energy.
Trying to make healthy choices so i dont get worse.
Trying at work, at home and with friends and family, and everywhere else.
Trying is exhausting.
Today i surrender to who i am, to my reality and to my limitations. I just can’t keep trying, i need to be exactly as i am.
I am sorry to those i may disappoint. I can no longer disappoint myself and ignore my needs for the sake of others and their expectations.
Ahhhh, some relief and space.
I can only be me, so here i am
limited, tired and in need of self care.
I take myself as i am and i hope you can too.
A note: this poem is for my heart and innocence and for everyone who is trying so hard. I honour you and send you big hugs.

Thank you Carla, that means a lot to me 💕. It can be so hard to feel this way, I felt like I was writing words from my broken heart. I am so glad we are in this together. With every breath we take, may we embrace ourselves just as we are. Xoxoxo
