Burnout
Therapist: "When did you last feel proud of yourself?"
Boy: "I don't remember."
Therapist: "You achieve a lot."
Boy: "Yeah. I just never arrive."
Therapist: "Arrive where?"
Boy: "At the version of me everyone keeps asking for."
Therapist: "What do you want instead?"
He shrugged.
"To rest-without feeling like I'm falling behind."
