Tired of Always Being There?

I understand. I am too.

I know you are that person before who always helps someone in need (used to). Your personality is so pleasing and “help” is in your nature. You are there to look out and lend a hand to everyone else but never ask for assistance and support. You used to have all your shit together and you always end the day fixing as much chaos as possible.

Then, a sudden shift in everything happened.

It’s not that you stopped being good, but I know you are only doing less of it. And this change of trait is something that people around you needs to understand because it is never a change that just happened at the flip of a switch.

So, what happened?

Maybe you’re tired of trying to satisfy people.

Maybe you got weary about concerning more on others in your life and that you realized you failed to discover what you really wanted for yourself.

Maybe you got exhausted on always saying “yes” to others and you’re having a hard time saying “no”.

Maybe you’re worn out because your wants and pleasures always seem to come last.

Maybe you’re a little drained from always lending a hand every time you saw someone needing a little help to get their task done, and you realized that your job is as important as theirs.

Maybe you're done about always anticipating on what help they needed before they even knew they needed it.

You are exactly at the point where you’re feeling all dead beat.

I know you are still right here, but you only refrain yourself from offering. I know it is hard to force yourself to just sit back, do nothing and let them fix things on their own. 

And I do know that this somehow stresses you - you’re worried that all these people would think you are leaving them menaced because you did not extend your hand to save them.

But, in the long run, you will see these people rising above on their own feet. You will see the growth in them. You will also realize that the stress you get from trying hard to be anyone for everyone, started to release its grip on you. 

And you will soon see yourself relaxing a little more – and you needed it as much as anyone else in this world.

It’s okay to let go. It’s all right to stop doing more of everything if it’s starting to drain you. Save yourself if you need it the most. You’ve had enough.

Now, rest. Re-charge. Recover. Redeem.

Relax until you finally regain yourself. Reclaim what’s lost. 

After this, you will discover more beautiful things in life and yourself as well. You will start to see a wide perception of things. And you will finally understand that “helping” doesn’t have to please.

"Do mental vacations. Disappear once in a while to reclaim your self. Know how your energy works."
