We are very much allowed to rest and care for ourselves (however we define it!) after giving so much of our time, effort & caring to others. For whatever reason. Ya done "good" for other, Meh. That's some of the best of being human, IMO.
Success is never final, failure is never fatal.

Random mention.

On a whim a book stood out to me next to a table I had sat down at. I was definitely NOT out to shop was only having some food. I went back "home" and looked for an audio version and I found one. Been out of the self-help phase for a long long while. This was actually pretty darn good and I have to try to listen to it again. It's very hard for me to find any privacy right now but I was able to finish this book today. It wasn't just generic statements there was some insight into anxiety that I had never really heard before. The start of the book does list A LOT of examples and that part can feel pointless but overall the book is good but my memory is kinda crap right now so I can't articulate :( If anything it helps with the having more meta-cognition.
