Effort has limits

28 Dec, 2025

Lately, I don't feel like doing anything for anyone, and that includes myself.

But I wasn't like this. I was someone who would go to any length for my loved ones.

I used to check in on my friends often, travel miles to meet them, listen to them, console them, and do everything I could.

But now, I just don't want to. I feel like all my emotional reserve is drained out. I'm exhausted.

And I've come to a point where I don't even feel like putting effort for myself.

I shouldn't have emptied all my emotional reserve. I should have prioritized myself, too.

I know that this is just a phase and it'll pass. But it's gonna take some time, and that's okay.

I learned that effort has limits, and exhausting it would make things difficult for people around me and myself.
