A Pep talk
You can do it!
Sometimes it seems very difficult, but remember, it's just a phase. Nature changes, we change, the cells in our bodies change. The connections in your mind change. The weather changes and it is never always like this. So just keep your head down and hold on. Keep going if you can. If you feel exhausted, take a break.
It's OK to stop as well.
Nothing goes forever. There is no perpetuum mobile. And it's for a good reason. We all need to recharge from time to time. Get a cup of tea. Get some chocolate. Have a bath. You will feel better. And than you can keep going. At your own pace. Don't compare yourself to others, that just leads to feeling small. But compare to your yesterday self. Or the being you were a year ago. You are different and much wiser. Even if you just struggled to stay alive and afloat, you did change and with the experience you did grow.

Well, it became something else, I guess I'm more in the "slow movement" part, I don't like the worlds rush for profit I guess. It's also funny how in the face of time pressure I reach out for such cliches. Anyway, this was a freewrite, thanks to freewritehouse for the prompt.
