I am burnt out

I have to keep telling myself: I am strong, I got this. I will be fine.

It is hard juggling work, looking after elderly busy parents and sibling. I have to cook daily, do the laundry, mend clothes, iron clothes, look after elderly parents and see to their needs. I am also getting married.

Work - I work with the best of the best. I have to always keep up with really smart people. Sometimes I think where did I end up? I should have chosen something simpler offered to me in Vancouver. When I am frustrated with myself, I blast the music full volume. I try to approach everything one step at a time. I have great admiration for geniuses. I really do.

People who have a very strong career, do not have to do much housework or have a family that takes too much of their time. Taking care of my family takes my time and my vacation hours. I do so much for my family. Every chance I get, day after day, weekend after weekend, year after year. When parents get old, the children become the parents. It is the reality of life. One day, I will get old too.

On top of that there are these University courses I take for one semester a year or every alternate semester.

I also exercise 1.5 hours a day.

I am not allowed to hire help for the household chores and yard work.

Some distant relatives and people are jealous of me, if they could only be in my shoes.
