There’s a moment when staying late at work stops feeling temporary.
At first, you tell yourself it’s just a busy period. Something you have to push through.
Then one day, you realize you’re no longer working toward something.
You’re working just to keep everything from falling behind.
And somewhere along the way, survival quietly became part of your normal routine.
Sometimes, exhaustion isn't about how much you’re doing.
It’s about how long you’ve been doing it without asking yourself where it’s actually taking you.
