I wish I can take a break
I wish I can unwind
Lately I have been mentally stressed.
I am constantly waking up with migraines and whole body weakness and sometimes even with body aches.
I know this is wrong, I know I should give myself the necessary rest.
I am feeding well, but I am just not having enough body rest and letting my mind rest too.
I am always thinking of the next thing to do to better my life and every decision I make takes me a step closer to even more mental stress and all.
I've strained my mind just too much, it might even reach it's elastic limit and this bothers me.
I don't like the feeling but I can't help it either.

I feel behind time and schedule each time I want to give my body that rest.
I know they say health is wealth, but there is a soul out there that is always up and doing just to make ends meet.
And there is also a struggling Nigerian student and I happen to fall into the latter.
Being a student is hard trust me, but many wouldn't just accept this reality, some of them thinks that students are the most fortunate and lucky and some of them even say that students are way richer than the non-students and if you ask them how, they will start making some really lame excuses and giving ridiculous instances.

Every soul that has been through the four walls of school, knows too well that it's not a joke except you aren't really bothered about academic performance and you have all the resources at hand, so you don't even struggle in any form.
Aside from that, I put it to you that being a student is tough and it's draining for real.
So apart from my personal ambition and aspirations, school is another thing mentally stressing me and draining me.
Today, I just want to rant about how tiring it is and how stressed I've been and yes, I wouldn't give up, I just need some time to unwind and I will do just fine.

Here is to everyone out there that probably might be feeling this way or even worse, I hope you find the strength to keep pushing through regardless of everything that is currently stressing your life out
