A 192 mile a day commute, trying to pack up my house, trying to eat right and stay fit. Working a new job where they expect you to hit the ground running. How do you stay motivated when the exhaustion, self-doubt and loneliness hit?
By the time I stumble up my front steps at night I am physically, mentally and emotionally drained. I try to keep a positive attitude, but sometimes it’s hard. I hate when I turn the key, open the door and walk into silence. How do you stay motivated to cook for just one person? How do you paste on a smile when all you want to do is cry? Knowing you’re facing another weekend alone. Knowing you have to force yourself out of bed everyday and adult, when you really just want to curl up and shut down.
