There’s a happy sort of exhaustion where you can’t do anything other than just smile blankly and nod. The grin on your face says it all. It’s funny how that space can be so mentally rejuvenating even though it’s incredibly taxing on your body. I’ve been struggling with keeping my work-life balance at a manageable ratio. Insane is an understatement when describing what my office-job feels like right now. Maybe it’s having connected to that insanity that makes absurd ideas like making a 10 hour round-trip trek to watch your friends rock around a cross country course seem like a good idea. Then again, it might just be what feeds my soul.
