So like, where is everyone finding the time + energy to do all the things?
I mean, I see people all over my feed posting proof of workouts, date nights, seventy-two million kid activities, birthday parties, long hikes, gardening, and more workouts. I have exactly enough energy when I am done doing all the very basic things necessary to keep my kids + dog + business alive and my house from looking like an abandoned animal barn to go on a couple walks and attend zoom therapy sessions. THAT’S IT. The buck stops there. So, the fuck?
I mean granted I don’t really want to do a lot of the things I see so many other people doing but I don’t think that’s the point. Like I actually don’t understand how their brains, bodies + bank accounts allow for all the girls nights, five star foods, overnight sports things, backyard BBQs, and vacations.
I mean, my Oura ring gives me an outstanding readiness score everyday. Yeah – everyday I wake up and the all-knowing little electronic ring tells me I have enough energy to climb Mount Everest. But I feel like I am running on empty after an average days work and one lacrosse practice drop off. I would need this thing to be injecting caffeine into my index finger at a rapid rate all day for me to keep up with some of you.
And before you go shooting me a warning text about a possible iron deficiency or terminal diagnosis, don’t worry my labs are good. I know that because that was my first thought too and then they came back, much like my girl Oura, telling me I’m great. So, that’s why I am here. To again say – THE FUCK.
I mean I know we know social media is a crock of shit and anyone rattling off all of their accomplishments and plans is prob half lying, but still! It sure looks like a lot of you are crushing life, with energy to spare.
So I am just stopping by to keep it real and let you know that if you feel strung out by the happenings, tasks, and expectations of 2025 – me too. And in the rare case that little device in your hand has you thinking I am over here doing it all with ease, I surely am not.
But we’ve got this…I guess.
