"The world that we live in is an exhausting place to be. It is wearing. It is thankless. It is endlessly trying and scarcely rewarding. I know you haven't always been this worn out - that there was a time when you were hopeful and pure. When your optimism outweighed your cynicism and you had an infinite amount in you to give. I know you're feeling uninsipired to try again. I know. Because the truth is, we're all tired. Every single one of us. By a certain age, we are all nothing more than an army of broken hearts and aching souls. We are tired of the games we play and the lies we tell and the uncertainties we present to each other. We don't want to play the villian but we don't want to play the fool either. So our guards go up. Our defences rile. And we take on the role that we loathe to see played because we're not sure what choice we have left. When you're tired, go slowly. Go quietly. Go timidly. But do not stop. You are tired for all the right reasons. You are tired because you're supposed to be. You're tired because you're making a change. You're tired because you're growing. And someday that growth will give way to the exact rejuvenation that you need." - Heidi Priebe.
