Tiredness

Physical and mental tiredness. They seem to be consuming me for the last many months. Why do some people still feel tired after so much rest? I guess it's because of the burdens that they carry. They bring their worries with them everywhere they go, both conciously or unconsciously. Burdens make one's shoulders feel heavy, they make one's footsteps heavier, they make one's breathing heavier, and they make one's eyelids droop further.

How does one keep a balance between staying lethargic and energetic? I guess one has to stay positive, really positive. But the question is, how does one stay positive? It's all in the mind, I guess. What does one do to stay positive? Does staying or rather, pretending to be happy and positive help? Well, I think it does help to a certain extent. I am not sure, but so far it has helped me quite a fair bit. I can be feeling so lousy when I am on my own. But when I am with people, I revert to my 'reel' self. Just like showing the unreal me to people, so as to prevent people from asking why I am feeling so down. And when I put on a 'brave' front, it helps me forget my real problems....at least temporarily.
