You'll have to remember this moment which hit me so badly. The moment I was very tired, not just sleepy, I did not overworked, but deep down in my soul I was just too tired.

The kind of tiredness that makes you just question everything around you, even the things you even love doing, there are many things to do and my mind just decided to stay still. I had become a working checklist and at this moment all I wanted was no more stress.

This didn't happen overnight but it started gradually. I started small. I began to turn off all my notifications that doesn't matter if it's to pick calls that was not useful to me and I decided to say no to the things that had been draining my energy.

I just gave myself the permission to rest, like to give myself enough rest without earning the rest at first. I've learned how to just take things easy around me and not to make things very hard. I've learned how to romanticize things.

Just spend free time in my garden and think about life. This is the kind of peace I've always dreamed of. While chasing, all fitting in life and struggling in life. 

No more stress. There are no more stress.
It does not mean that I should live a perfect life. It means right now I have to be intentional in what I do.

I have to pick the battle that I want to fight.
Protecting my peace should be my number one priority. And some days, even if I feel overwhelmed by life's struggles, I can still say to myself, I deserve peace and rest for a while.

This is the time that you just have to just take a deep breath of life and remind yourself, you're a human and not a machine.
