An elastic band can only be stretched so far before it snaps, you can only pile so much on the camel’s back before his back breaks… so why are people expected to be any different?!
I know I am not a superhero and I am not a miracle worker but at the same time I know, just as well as the rest of the world that I will do anything for any of my friends or family… I will drop what’s at hand and help them. But there comes a time when I need to concentrate on myself, and put me first.
I know I have issues saying no, which leads to me taking on too much. I work too hard, I don’t take time for myself… relax is not a word that is very commonly used in my vocabulary.
When I utilize that two letter word that I hate so much people are shocked and often appalled. There is only so much I can do for everyone I do need to concentrate on myself and my troubles and my life (believe it or not, I have one).
I’ve been sick for the past week, I had a stressful week at school last week and a topsy turvy weekend and I am ready for a week of nothingness. Instead I am concentrating on me, I am planning on kicking this sickness’s ass, I need to get my energy back an start feeling better, I need to get caught up in my sciences and keep up on my languages. I’m not saying that I am dropping all of you, because that’s the last thing in the world that I would ever do that. BUT for the next while there’s not a lot I can do. I am not doing this to be selfish, I am trying to get healthy, keep my grades and spirits up.
I understand more than you know that life is tough, and we all have problems and issues – because my friends, I have plenty of my own. But I am taking the reigns of my life back before my elastic band breaks or my poor camel’s back breaks.
