See the woman in the picture?!
Maybe she is just exhausted, dead-tired.
of witnessing the bottomless barrage of suffering she can’t heal;
the incomprehensible nonsense she can’t grasp;
tripping over the same damn lies, disappointments, broken promises, and heartbreaks.
Maybe, she has had enough.
Maybe her heart, her soul, and her sanity feel the insistent pull to find a vacant corner of our world and to cloak herself in the peace of visual and auditory emptiness and rest — even if only for little while.
[SIGH]
Maybe she is you. Maybe she is me.
Call to action: Has there ever been a time when you felt that life was just too much? Do you need to rest a while?
Thanks for the encouragement. I am not planning on giving up. But I wanted to write a post for all of us who has ever felt crushed by life. I want others to know they are not alone.
Yes! I have felt like this more times than I can count. Sometimes, I just want to turn everything off and just pretend that I am not even here when I realized that I only need to be strong and live through this life, because eternal everlasting rest will come soon enough.
I will give you an AMEN on that. I do hope so much that there is eternal. everlasting. rest. And yes, it will come soon enough.
