Conundrum of Life

Stress is not for the weak. When I say I am so burnt out physically, mentally, and emotionally, I mean it wholeheartedly. And to think, I'm only 23. How am I supposed to survive? With a year left in college, a full-time job, and a part-time internship, I struggle to make time for the things and people I love.

I can't help but think to myself that we as human beings were never built to push ourselves this hard for this long. I envy the caveman, whose sole purpose was to wake up every day and stay alive. If only that were all I was responsible for, I wouldn't struggle this much to just stop and smell the roses and enjoy my existence.

This year, I have gone on a path to find my true self and it has been so rewarding. I have really stopped and looked at this world and my life to assess what I truly need and what I truly don't want. I'm excited to embark on a journey of self-love and acceptance and start to make my life a true reflection of all my hopes and dreams. If only I could win the lottery so that I could actually enjoy the beautiful life I'm building.
