“Push yourself
It’s good for you
To get out of your comfort zone a little.”
Thanks
I appreciate the advice
I know your heart is in the right place
You really want to help
But some days
(Like today)
Pushing myself
Stepping out of my comfort zone
Is as simple as getting out of bed
Eating something
Leaving the house
Having this conversation right now.
Other days I can handle more
That might be your confusion.
But please don’t think
At 25 years old
I don’t know where my limits are
I don’t know when to push
And when to pull back
When the strain is good
And when it might break me
Please just trust me
To know myself
And listen to what I’m telling you
When I say it’s enough.
It’s not being weak
Or lazy
It’s self-preservation
Keeping myself afloat
Which some days
(Like today)
Takes all that I have.
