you misunderstand me

fighting isn't always protesting and activism. fighting is also taking care of yourself and those closest to you so they don't lose hope, and neither do you.

despair is that hopelessness when you start feeling like you can't keep doing it, like something has to give and it's going to be you.

you're not out of spoons. you don't have them where they need to be right now.

as mek said, taking time for yourself isn't giving in.
