me reading this alone from the restaurant reservation i refused to cancel because one day im not going to be able to go to dinner alone on friday at 5 PM
Oh how I resonated with this. I literally had covid all week, back to back lectures and labs, exams this Monday I’ve been studying for, interviews, gahh the list continues. I also have been terrible about making subscribers pay for my writing. Why are we like this.
Love your letters. Love you. You (we) deserve to say no and know our worth 🤎
I really resonated with this on a deep level... Although I'm still at the struggling beginning artist stage, so my "complaints" – I mean, counting my blessings – are probably just me complaining, lol. But I don't know why reading this made me feel a little better than I did before. Thank you for sharing your voice, story, and experience.
I couldn't resonate with this more - I feel like coming back from summer has felt amazing but also so overwhelming to the fact that I could cry. I, too, was chatting with my dad about this and how I am OBLIGATED to say yes to things because I love my friends and I can't imagine not saying yes. But does it really matter? I need to re-evaluate. My friends don't love me because I come to every event and am a "yes" person - there is so much more to our friendships. Sometimes I dream of moving to a town where it's hard to travel from and I only have a couple of friends. But then would I be lonely? WHAT IS THE HAPPY MEDIUM?!
I get this so much. When I opened up this to read my bf looked over and went, "What's happening there?" And I quickly had to tell him, "She isn't eating the frog literally!" Learned a new definition today.
I am currently in architecture school experiencing similar fatigue. Sometimes it feels like drinking coffee, and reading my morning Substack subscriptions is some of my only downtime. Thank you for posting :)
Learn to say “No!” just not to your mother.

oh this is the 24/7 mood, so so grateful to live a life so full, but so so tired
right
as someone who also has the yes disease- you can always say no to me 🫶🏻
