“I am tired” he says.
………………………………………………………………….
See, I tend to be drawn in by such shortened statements, the ones that sometimes we easily overlook, or struggle to unravel. Those which wrap up the core of what we are thinking or what is happening to us.
This phrase “I am tired “ carries a lot of weight, sometimes it is all we afford to say in the midst of dire circumstances, life or death situations.
It doesn’t touch on the physical fatigue only, it sinks deep- the psychological fatigue, sometimes I say there is “soul fatigue”- that kind of fatigue that you can’t explain to anyone but it’s deeply felt and difficult to ignore.
“I am tired” is a statement that can explain the behavior we display:
I am tired can have you want to sleep all day and refuse food
I am tired can have you rant and destroy whatever is in sight
I am tired can have you abandon your children and family
I am tired can have you break off your relationship or marriage
I am tired can have you quit your job and run your business down to the ground
I am tired can have lose your sanity
I am tired can have you kill a person
I am tired can have you kill yourself
I am tired can have you close out any kind of help needed, it devours you the energy to seek clarity
I am tired can either have you destroy yourself or bring change…
Note this “I am tired” to you says, look within you first and find inner peace. No one is going to completely know what your “I am tired” means unless you find composure to have them understand. Composure comes with you creating a platform welcome for audience of different characters. Otherwise we misinterpret your “I am tired” and unknowingly add fuel to it that may burn you to ashes.
I find it difficult to clap hands and dance to the tune of someone saying “I am tired” especially when it comes with tears and anger, it’s a red flag. It’s a heartbreak.My thoughts spring to ‘this someone needs help’.
We all have limitations of how far we can stretch our emotional tolerance, we can surely snap,it doesn’t matter how hypervigilant we are known to be. We do get deeply tired.
Take care of each other, take care of yourself.
Much love
