Burnout Is Honestly Such A Mild Word For What People Use It To Mean. I'm Not Experiencing "burnout",

Burnout is honestly such a mild word for what people use it to mean. I'm not experiencing "burnout", which sounds so casual and routine that some face masks and a little rest is going to fix it.

My body and mind and even nervous system are stretched to the point that it's going to take a lot more than just a "break" or a few self care tips to recover, and even then, my recovery is just so that I can reenter the spaces that contributed to me being this way in the first place. I'm a little bit more than just burnt out by this.

Workplaces and educational institutions aggressively overwork us, expose us to all kinds of discrimination, which they overlook and gaslight us out of acknowledging, and then constantly ask us to ignore our mental, emotional, and physical needs so that we don't inconvenience them.

We're not burnt out. We're borderline traumatized. Burnout is always talked about like something transient and mild that a little rest and relaxation will fix.

But we're exhausted. We need deep rest and healing. We need new systems. We need new ways of being. The language around burnout just seems like a way of upholding these current violent systems and downplaying their impacts.

You are not “hopelessly behind” everyone else. Every person moves at their own pace and your life path is unique. While expectations of achievement within a certain time period may feel set in stone, there is always a way to keep going.

joke from whenever toby clarified he had to add save points to chapter 4 light world segment

Deltarune fanart. Kris is in the Light World, patting the Annoying Dog on the head. The dog sits happily on a table, as a "file saved" message pops up. A text box reads: "There is a dog here asking you not to think about the lore significance of being able to save in the light world."
