There’s a deep kind of tiredness that goes beyond needing sleep. It’s the quiet exhaustion of always being on — always doing, managing, caring, and putting others first.
If you’re someone who carries many responsibilities — as a parent, partner, caregiver, or simply the reliable person in your circle — you might find yourself feeling stuck. Maybe your life looks calm, safe, and predictable from the outside, but inside, it can feel stagnant, numb, or even confining.
In those moments, you may find yourself longing for something simple yet vital:
Passion. Excitement. Aliveness. A little space to just be.
Sometimes, what we really crave isn’t a big change, but a quiet moment like this:
Lying on the grass. Watching the clouds.
Not doing. Not fixing. Just being.
Even when there is time to rest, many of us push it aside because of habit, guilt, or the feeling that rest is something to earn — only after everything else is done.
But here’s a gentle reminder:
-
The list will never be finished.
-
And you deserve moments of peace right now, not later.
You are allowed to exist beyond your roles and responsibilities.
You are allowed to take up space, even if the laundry isn’t folded or the emails aren’t answered.
You deserve moments that are just for you — unhurried, unproductive, and entirely human.
If this resonates with you, consider this an invitation:
-
Step outside if you can.
-
Lie down in the sun or find a quiet corner to pause.
-
Take five minutes to simply breathe and reconnect with yourself.
This isn’t about escaping your responsibilities — it’s about remembering the person underneath them.
The part of you that longs for softness, freedom, and a still point is still there. And she’s worth listening to.
Even now. Especially now.
We can explore these feelings together, discover new ways to connect, revisit old passions perhaps. I warmly invite you to drop me a line if that is something that resonates with you. I'm in Portsmouth, Fareham and online, Love Abi x
