Hey everyone,

It has been a little while since I have had the chance to check in. In all honesty, I have been overwhelmed with everything, working and life. I have been feeling run down, and I think my body is just tired. I think, actually it is emotionally tiredness as well. It gets difficult to always be the one to be strong, the one who has to hold everything together, to carry on despite not wanting to, and getting on with every day like nothing is wrong. I think it is all just becoming a bit heavy to carry.

But, I am sure it will pass. I have started at the gym again and it has really helped. I have also been taking time for myself and not feeling guilty about it. My mind just won’t switch off; but then again, if it did, that wouldn’t be me… right?

It is often difficult to be the one everyone relies on, when your heart is also breaking. It would be nice to be held and not have to be the one holding it all together, for once.

I hope everyone has a productive week ahead! Lighter days are coming..

With love always,

Amina xo
