Somewhere along the way, rest became something you have to deserve or earn. You rest after the house is clean. And if none of that happens? That’s exhausting in a way sleep doesn’t always fix. February has a special way of draining people. And yet, there’s this unspoken expectation that you should be operating at full capacity, every single day. If you’re feeling slower, foggier, less motivated right now… Here’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: Rest doesn’t have to be earned.

Valentine’s Day hits different when you’re tired.Not “I stayed up too late scrolling” tired.But the kind of tired where you and your partner pass each other in the hallway like coworkers on opposite shifts.
