I don’t know if it’s just me, but it feels like everyone around me is just tired. Not tired as in “I need to sleep,” but that deeper kind — where your soul is just... exhausted. You wake up and you’re already drained. You’re going through the motions: work, school, hustle, survival — but it’s like your spirit didn’t come along for the ride. People don’t gist like they used to. We’re not even complaining loudly anymore. We’ve become silent. Almost numb. When last did someone genuinely laugh around you? Not that forced “lol” we drop on WhatsApp, but real laughter — the type that makes your chest shake. It’s rare now. And I’m beginning to wonder: is this just stress? Or are we collectively burnt out as a country? Think about it: 1. The news is always heavy. Every day it’s fuel price, food price, exchange rate, or another policy we weren’t prepared for. 2. Social media is toxic half the time. 3. Even churches and mosques are now about survival strategies, not peace of mind. I walked past three people arguing yesterday, not about football or politics — but about how to afford bread. Bread o. Something we used to take for granted. I don’t have answers. I’m just observing and thinking out loud. But if you’re feeling this way too — like life has quietly weighed you down — just know you’re not mad. You’re not alone. Let’s talk. Are you tired too? Or is it just me?
