You're tired. You're trying. And the world keeps telling you it's still not enough. But what if average was actually enough? Not a consolation prize. Not giving up. A choice.
The medal at the finish line was supposed to make you happy. It didn't. This is why rest was never something to earn, why busy was never proof of worth, and what it actually takes to rewrite the terms of success.
Bouncing back quickly looks like resilience. But are we recovering, or just returning to what broke us in the first place?
What if the version of success you've been chasing was never actually yours? Not the 5am alarm you set because that's what driven people do. Somewhere along the way, you picked up a definition of success and just kept running with it.
