Lisa Ray Instagram – “I’m tired of people romanticizing overexertion. Exhausted is not the new chic, coffee (though a delicious necessity) is not a food group, and running on fumes is not admirable. Why do we hold pedestals for sleepless nights, breakdowns, and inner turmoil? Are those really things to aspire to? Self-care. Balance. The ability to know when your body, mind, and spirit need to take a step back. Those are things we should admire. We have to stop blurring the line between ‘commitment’ and self-endangerment because too many people are burning out before they have a chance to truly shine.” — opinion via @theartidote on the way we envision hard work and the way we should live life (via runningmandz.tumblr.com) #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm artwork by Brian DeYoung Arts
