I’m in the thick of it — tired, busy, stretched thin — but I’m also in the middle of the memories I’ll hold onto forever. The days blur together with to-do lists and obligations, emails and errands, noise and needs. Sometimes I wake up already exhausted, wondering how I’ll make it through the next 24 hours. My energy feels like a thread pulled tight, one more tug away from unraveling. But in the chaos, there are moments — fleeting, tender, quiet — that stop me in my tracks.
A spontaneous laugh from someone I love. A late-night conversation that brings unexpected clarity. The way the light filters through the window when everything feels still for just a second. These aren’t grand events or milestones. They’re small, sacred pauses in a season that demands everything from me. And somehow, those are the moments that will matter most when this is over.
One day, I’ll look back and remember the intensity — yes, the tiredness and pressure — but more than that, I’ll remember the warmth. The growth. The resilience. The love that threaded its way through every hard, beautiful day. These memories are being formed in real time, even as I move through them half-aware, hoping for rest but pressing on.
So no, it’s not easy. But it’s meaningful. And that’s enough to keep going — one tired, grateful breath at a time. ❤️
