As I am getting up slowly from the aches, brushing the dust off my clothes, and getting ready to face what I have been avoiding mentally, I realize how much I have delayed in this life. conversations I avoided. projects I postponed. many things I paused. and a spark I lost.

Now I am preparing to fight what I kept running from.

But I want you to help me.

Help me by slowing me down.

As you can see, there are too many things to do. and I am someone who sometimes rushes everything to the point that it puts heavy load on me. maybe making it healthier means going to the other extreme. slowing down so I can stay sane.

A gentle reminder about my mental health. a quiet call to think about where I stand.

Maybe the next phase should be dedicated to preparation. maybe planning. maybe intentional action instead of reaction.

By all means, I want you to know I am getting up to rise.

And I want you to tell me if I am being unhealthy at any point.
