You've been tired for a decade.
You've mastered the art of the grind.
You know exactly how to triage, crisis at work, manage the soccer schedule, and handle the thousand small demands that hit you the second you walk through the door.
There's a strange, disoriented comfort in that exhaustion.
When you're tired, you have a role.
You're the provider.
You're the fixer.
But stillness?
Stillness is terrifying.
When you stop moving, the noise of the to-do list fades and you're left with the silence of your own head.
And in that silence, questions start to bubble up.
Questions about whether any of this actually matters.
or if you're just running in place.
So what do you do?
You pick up the phone.
You check one more email.
You find one more task to manage.
You use your busyness as a shield.
If you're running 100 miles an hour, you have a perfect ironclad excuse
for why you're not present.
