Maybe you’re not unmotivated.

Maybe you’re tired of always having to keep going.

At some point, pushing through stops helping. You’re just running on empty.

You don’t have to fall apart before you take a break.

You don’t need a crisis to know you’ve had enough.

And being capable doesn’t mean you have to be available all the time.

Sometimes you need to put things down for a minute.

Not because you’re giving up.

Because you’re tired.

You can still want everything you’re working toward and need a break from it.

Sometimes you need to stop before you have nothing left.

“I might be hanging by a thread… but it’s attached to the hem of His garment.”

Sometimes the person you’re willing to take the bullet for is the one who pulls the trigger.

You met my caution before you met me.

Validation is applause. Being seen is recognition.

Nothing feels more intimate than someone noticing what you never explained.

We act like strangers until the consequences introduce us.

Grateful for this crew and this lighting.

The biggest flex is remembering who watered you before you bloomed.

One day you wake up and realize you’ve been surviving someone else’s definition of living.
