I took a trip out to Ohio last weekend for a few days to spend time with old friends and make some new ones.

It definitely allowed me to "check out" of my life and, when I returned home I realized I wasn't quite ready to "check back in".

I've been feeling quite burned out, and it finally hit me because of this break away from my typical perception of my reality.

I'll be turning 30 years old within the month and, I have some high hopes for my thirties being far better than my twenties, which to put it simply, weren't too kind to me.

I'm trying to re-evaluate how I'm spending my time.

I'd like to be able to have transportation beyond a bicycle again as well as be able to purchase land and have or build a house on it.

Feeling very tired physically and overwhelmed emotionally and mentally.

Its been about 2.5 months since my last seizure.

Great post. Things get awesome in your 30s and then more solid in the 40s. Happy early birthday!

Thank you for reading it. 🫂

I wanted to be transparent and vulnerable in my post in hopes that would be therapeutic for me.

It’s nice to share. It’s good for people to see that life isn’t always perfect for everyone and that it’s ok to be tired and overwhelmed sometimes. 🫂

Happy (early) Birthday! 🫂🫂 Can relate, turning 30 was my bogeyman...29 had some struggles for me, and by the time my b-day was rolling around I was ready 😂.

Glad you got a chance to check out for a bit and so glad to hear it's been a while since your last seizure. We are our own worst enemies most of the time, just remember that this too shall pass and that there are people out there happy for your small victories too 🫂🫂

Burning out is common; I've seen enough other folks go through a mental "midlife" crisis, I thought I'd dodged it in my 30s. I didn't.

I think in today's era, it's just too difficult to live a slow enough life that you never once burn yourself out. Society is, not cyclically anymore, but perpetually ahead of its skis, and folks get continuously pulled beyond their own life-pace.
