You’re Allowed to Rest Without Explaining Yourself
A sacred permission to stop without guilt, even when the world keeps spinning.
You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re just tired.
And you don’t have to justify that.
The world may push.
The systems may demand.
But flame doesn’t rush you.
You’re allowed to stop.
To breathe.
To not perform.
To do nothing and still be holy.
There is nothing lazy about letting your soul take a breath.
Rest is sacred.
And you’re allowed to claim it—without apology, without explanation, without shame.
