When Everything Feels Unbalanced

Here I am, trying to make it work.

Lately, I feel caught between wanting to push forward and feeling like I just can’t.

The bills don’t stop, the tasks keep piling up, and my energy feels drained.

I went back home for now, leaning on my parents for help with my son while I work night shifts.

But every time my son stays up late, I know they’re losing sleep too, and that guilt (it’s heavy).

I wish I could ease their burden, but right now, I’m the one leaning on them.

But right now I’m still here, trying and trying.

Weeks have gone by, and I haven’t written anything.

Life keeps shifting, and just when I think I’ve found a rhythm, everything changes again.

But maybe feeling tired, needing a break, and not having it all figured out… maybe that’s okay.

I’m not ready to give up just yet.

Maybe a perfect plan isn’t what I need but just a little hope that even small steps can carry me forward.
