I thought life would be amazing
After I graduated from school
But instead, I questioned myself
"Is this how I'm supposed to feel when I achieved something in life?"
When I got home, it felt surreal
That the 12 years I spent on school
Ended just like that in a day
Part 1/3
So I learned from my mistake
And start to live for me.
I tried to find myself.
And eventually
There are people
Who see me as I am
2/3
And as I sat back.
I realized how stupid I was.
For not taking care of my mind and body.
Chasing dreams, collecting things, and achieving goals that would never end.
It is not lazy to take a break.
It is wise to pace yourself.
Stop hustling.
Start living.
Part 3/3
I am burned out.
Because I wanted to keep going.
I thought taking a break was a lazy excuse.
In pursuit of "happiness", I made myself unhappy.
The irony.
Part 1/3
But I also learned that...
...If I take the time to look around me...
There are things I do enjoy.
Things I care about.
And even though I am far from the life I dream of...
This ain't half bad.
At least, for now.
Part 3/3
But as adults, we need to show up.
At least show up like life is better than it actually is.
That's why some people wear masks.
That's why I wear a mask, too, most of the time.
We're just trying to do our best in life.
Part 2/3
As I get older, I am no longer excited about things.
Not because I don't want to, but because I am too tired to be excited.
Aren't we all? Tired?

All this time, I have been writing for you.
But now, I am writing to you.
Part 1/3
But despite all that...
When people left us for good,
They also left us with lessons to learn.
Life goes on,
And we grow up.
Part 2/3
People come and go in life.
Sometimes we're just a quick stop.
Sometimes they will be around for a while.
And a lot of times,
We yearn for closure.
