Coming out of my burnout in 2019, I had many helpful conversations. Each one helped me attempt to reconstitute my life. One in particular was with a friend, David. We had had conversations before. He knew me, and I trusted him. As I shared my experience, what had happened, and the pain I was walking through, he was compassionate and helpful. Towards the end of conversation, he said something I didn’t expect. “You will likely feel this way again.” It wasn’t what I wanted to hear. It definitely wasn’t encouraging. I remember chuckling through my tears at the time. Why? I could tell it was honest – even prophetic.
And here we are, feeling that way again.
