Just a person.

You’re a person. 
That’s it. 
Just a person. 
So your time is limited. Your energy is limited. 
Your capacity is limited. The number of things you’re capable of doing in a day is limited. The number of people you’re able to please in a day is limited. The number of friends you can allow to get especially close to is limited. You can’t be best friends with everyone. 
So say yes to what matters most. 
Say yes to who matters most. 
I think we all need to be people who are kind and inclusive and loving and generous with what we have. 
But we can’t give what we don’t have, you know? No matter how hard we try, we just can’t. 
Some people might be disappointed. Some people might judge you and claim you didn’t do enough, or say enough or be enough. 
But look at your heart, and if you can truly say that you did your best. That your priorities were in the right place, rest easy and hold your head high. Silence the hate and the shush the guilty conscious.  
You’re amazing. 
But you’re a person. 
Don’t exhaust yourself trying to be more.
