To be honest, I’m so exhausted. Tired of doing the same thing every single week. School. Work. Ministry. Sleep. Repeat. I’m just going through the motions.
I’m never looking forward to anything anymore. I realize that I’m never excited about anything anymore. I don’t even know what the heck I’m doing with my life, myself, anymore. I just don’t know anymore.
Do I write because I really am passionate about it, or because people always praise me & my writings? Do I serve as a Christian leader on campus because that’s where my heart is, or is it just because I’m used to serving? Why do I even do the things I’m doing? There’s no excitement, no fire, no spark. I’m all burnt out.
I don't smile as much as I used to. I don't laugh as much as I once did. People always tell me that I have a beautiful smile, but do they know that inside I'm disgusted at the person I've become? I was always vocal about inner beauty, but now, it feels as if my inner parts have been ripped apart and destroyed, consumed by a poison that continues to be fueled by self-hate. Who am I?
Now I’m stuck wondering how I can ever get back to the person I used to be. How is it possible when every time I try to pray a genuine prayer, it just seems forced? Every time I try to make myself vulnerable, repenting, asking God to reveal Himself, I still find myself with a guarded heart.
I can’t explain this. I’m trying. I’m giving everything 110%, but how can I keep giving when I’m so drained? I am physically, mentally, spiritually, & emotionally drained. I need rediscovery. Revival. Renewal. Rethinking. Re- everything. Just, where do I go from here God? Where?
