Burnout is the New Pink

Edition 31: August 2021

Hi, friends.

I’ve been struggling lately. I hit that point beyond burnout where I feel like I don’t have time for anything—taking a shower, going for a walk, making something other than cheese and crackers for lunch. Reading is a chore and I’ve been neglecting it the way I neglect dusting. I’m just tired.

From what I’ve seen around the internet, I’m not alone in this feeling. We’ve been at this for a year and a half. This constant state of survival mode and anxiety about the unknown future. I don’t have anything new to offer here, just acknowledging it and giving it a name so maybe it’ll back off.

Here’s hoping for a relaxing new season ahead. In the meantime, here are some good reads.
