Kinds of Tired

• That particular kind of tired when you've been on your feet and moving for twelve hours.
• The kind of tired from waking up after a depression nap somehow more tired than before.
• The feeling of running on empty for too many weeks in a row.
• Being "peopled out."
• Feeling unappreciated.
• Waiting to have an uncomfortable conversation with someone.
• When your brain is exhausted.
• The straight-up bad night of sleep.
• My dreams were too "busy" last night.
• Company politics are being stupid again.
• National politics are being stupid again.
• Active waiting or hoping.
• Something interrupted rest and there was no returning in a timely manner.
• When you've given more emotion than you had.
• When everything is everything all at once.  
• When you realize you haven't allowed yourself to be still in far too long.
• Having done absolutely nothing productive all day.
• Having done absolutely nothing productive all day and feeling guilty about it.
• Anticipatory tired.
• When your heart full.
• Exhaustion by a thousand cuts.  
• The satisfying workout.
• Waking up on a rainy morning.
• "Ordinary" physical exhaustion.
• The "I didn't even realize I was this exhausted," sneaky tired.
• Tired because of a flash of anger.  
• The particular space where you would like a short pause from existing just for a couple hours.
• That feeling when pausing to assess or relax somehow makes you feel more tired.   
• The space where you do want to do anything in particular but you don't want to be doing nothing.
• When you want to write because you know it feels good to write and otherwise good to continue the habit but at the same time you cannot manage to find words together in any kind of sense because your brain doesn't feel like working that way today.

Wherever you mind find yourself in that list, I wish you the kind of rest you need.
