It is just a period

 

I’m tired of hearing:
“It’s just a phase. It will pass.”

I don’t know about you, but I’m so tired of hearing this: “It’s just a period, it will pass.”

Yes, maybe you’re right — it will pass, and maybe it really is just a period. 

But I feel like I’m going through
one period after another.… and honestly… it’s getting too much.

I’m tired of waiting.
Tired of hoping for a “better time.”

Don’t get me wrong — I’m not a pessimist.
I just wish there was a pause between all of this,
so I could enjoy life a little more.

Maybe I sound negative.
The truth is — I do enjoy my life.
Every day, I find something to be grateful for.
I love my long morning walks with my little boy.
I do my best to balance work,
home,
and motherhood.
But still…
I often catch myself wondering:
“When is this going to end?”,
“Why this, why now?”

When I talk with friends, I see their struggles too. I see how they’re trying to cope with life.
And yet… I still feel like I’m not doing enough.

Maybe this storm in my head comes from the huge amount of work we’ve had lately.
I’m grateful for it — we need to renovate the house —
but I feel like I’m walking in a fog,
searching for the right path or formula to balance everything,
and failing my own standards every time.

Maybe it’s also because my birthday is coming up.
I think we all start questioning our lives around that time.
I’m scared that I’m missing something.

OCD kept me in a cage for far too long.
Now I’m learning to breathe again.
To break free.

I want to do more, to experience more, to truly live.

Maybe the answer is simple —
stay patient,
focus on today,
and take care of your health. Because nothing is possible without it.

If you’ve felt this too — I’d love to hear from you.

If you’re in a moment that feels endless:

→ The kind of tired that isn’t about sleep  

→ When your mind is loud but you keep going
