You replay what you wish you'd said...

after the moment already passed.

You know what's true...

until someone else's opinion feels stronger than your own.

You trust yourself...

until belonging feels more important.

You smile and say "I'm just tired"...

and give a little laugh so no one asks again.

"I'm fine."

"I'm thankful, but I'm tired."

"I don't have time."

"It's easier if I just do it."

"How can I be tired when I have so much to be thankful for?"

"No wonder we're exhausted. It's like putting on a live stage show all day long."
