I've always known that I truly value relationships. They're really important to me so I try my hardest to make sure that the people I care about know that I care. • • • • • Lately, I've realized that I am over exerting myself in an effort to maintain these relationships. I'm stretching myself too thin and it's taking a toll on me emotionally and mentally. I'm having moments of wanting to draw into myself and not be around anyone whatsoever. But then, I'm also aware of that desire and shame myself for feeling that way, so I place myself in situations with people I genuinely enjoy being around but I actually don't feel like interacting with. Not because they've done something, but because I just want to be quiet. • • • • • I have a very hard time finding comfort in solitude. Primarily because I think I just get way too inside my head when I'm alone. Therefore, I surround myself with lovely individuals to keep my mind occupied and to enjoy their company. • • • • • I'm trying to find a healthy balance between taking time for myself and taking time for those I love. • • • • • I'll update y'all when I figure it out✌🏾 • • • • • #thoughts #dailyfeels #mymind #millenials #friends #sisters❤️ #blackgirls #mentalhealth #emotions #emotionalhealth
