You’ve Been Praised for Your Pain—But You’re Tired
You’ve been praised for how much you carry.
How much you give.
How little you ask for.
But the truth is: you’re tired.
Not just physically—but soul-deep.
And still, rest feels risky.
Lazy.
Irresponsible.
Because somewhere along the way, you were taught to earn your worth through depletion.
The Lie That You Must Earn Your Worth Through Exhaustion
As women of color, many of us inherited:
- Generations of survival over restoration
- Cultural scripts that equate rest with weakness
- Systems that reward burnout but punish boundaries
- An unspoken pressure to prove we can endure anything
So we override our bodies.
We silence our fatigue.
We normalize the grind.
But what if rest is not a reward—it’s a responsibility?
Rest Isn’t Irresponsible—It’s Revolutionary
Rest is not absence.
It’s presence.
It’s where your clarity returns.
Your creativity breathes.
Your nervous system remembers safety.
Rest is how you reclaim:
- Your body’s wisdom
- Your time
- Your boundaries
- Your softness
And when you rest, you model something different for those who come after you.
What might shift if you treated rest as your birthright, not a reward?
Rest as Legacy: What You Model Becomes What You Leave Behind
Legacy isn’t only about what you achieve. It’s also about what you normalize, embody, and pass down.
When you rest, you:
- Disrupt cycles of burnout passed down through generations
- Teach your body that safety doesn’t require suffering
- Make space for gentleness, creativity, and clarity
- Offer your lineage something softer, more humane
Rest isn’t a pause from your legacy. It’s part of your legacy.
