Wine
I am exhausted.
I mean, I got 8 hours of sleep last night. I've actually had the energy to get almost all of my to-do list for the week done today, with some spare time to dilly AND dally! I sip on coffee all day at my office. I'm drinking water regularly. I'm in tip-top shape today!
But I am tired.
You know that feeling? It's just below my throat, behind my breastbone. You know the spot? It's this place between the "chest" and your "throat" that just kind of... aches.
Somedays, I'm very grateful for the internet. It has saved me time and time again in my job. I am grateful to be connected via internet with my friends from different parts of the country and the world. I, of course, love the convenience that the world wide web brings. But today, it exhausts me. I want to throw my whole phone away. I want to burn my iPad. I want to play target practice with my computer. I'm done. I wish I could delete every account I've ever had. I don't want it.
The world is too much. As humans, we were made to care for others and carry each other's burdens-- but not like this. Every story, every tragedy, every bit of chaos is right at our finger tips. And it's never-ending. It wears on a person.
Don't worry, I'm okay. I'm going to be fine. When I'm done writing this, I'm going to shut my computer off and have a glass of wine or something. But I'm kind done with today. I'm exhausted.
