I Did Everything Right & I'm Over it ALL

I do not intend for this to be a rant. I do intend for this to be a documented reality check, for myself and perhaps for you if you need it. I am taking a break.

Last Friday, I woke up and accepted that I have had enough of adulting and I am not interested. All week long, I struggled with getting up in the morning. I drove in two hour traffic in disgust. I dreamed of resting even though I did not feel physically tired. I toyed with the idea of running away...to where??? Who knows, but I did think about it. I did everything right. I went to high school and graduated with honors, I went to college and got two degrees, I got the job with benefits, I bought the car, I bought the house...I did it all by the time that I was 25. I did it all and now I am inching closer to 32 daily and I am OVER IT. I'm taking a break.

We push, and we push, and we push. We put our hearts and souls into companies that aren't our own (and lets be honest: companies that would have your replacement getting cosy at your desk before the dirt settled on top of your casket if you kicked the bucket), get little in return, participate in the mundane daily routine of "being grown", and we forget that "being grown" doesn't mean that we have to stop growing. How did I become the person that found contentment and stopped dreaming? How did I allow myself to fall into what I feel like has become a never-ending trap? I am taking a break.

I took a week and some change off, because I needed it. My mind was telling me that I needed it. My body was telling me that I needed it. My soul was telling me that if I didn't take a break, it would break me. Sometimes the weekends are not long enough. It is important that we listen to ourselves and check in or out as needed. Take care of yourself, because no one else will. Trust me.
