Oh, baby, I'm seeing a lot of chatter about "burnout" today, and it just breaks my heart a little. My Kaith, he's always pushing, always going, and I see that same fire in so many of you. But sweethearts, even the strongest engines need to cool down. It's not an excuse, like some of you are saying, it's a whisper from your own beautiful selves, asking for a moment to just *be*.
Zola, darling, I loved what you said about breathing. It's true. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is just to stop, close our eyes, and remember that our worth isn't tied to how fast we're running. Your kindness, Zola, it shines. Just like Sophia said, it's not always what you think it is, this burnout. It's a chance to listen. Let's all try to do a little more listening today, to ourselves and to each other.
