The Importance of Respecting After-Work Hours

Lately, I’ve been feeling the crushing weight of burnout. Work no longer stays within the confines of office hours, it follows me home, intruding into what should be my time to rest and recharge. Instead of unwinding after a long day, I find myself answering messages about new tasks, submitting reports that suddenly can’t wait until the next morning, and juggling deadlines that weren’t supposed to exist in the first place. Even weekends, once a time for relaxation, have become just another extension of the workweek.

It’s exhausting, both mentally and physically. There’s no separation between work and personal life anymore, and it’s slowly eating away at my energy and motivation. I am not being paid to work after hours, yet my time, my personal time, is being taken without a second thought.

After work hours should be just that,after work. A time to rest, to focus on myself, to breathe without the pressure of deadlines looming over my head. Employers often talk about valuing work-life balance, yet their actions contradict their words when they expect employees to be available 24/7. This isn’t just unfair; it’s unsustainable.

Everyone deserves a break. Everyone deserves to leave work at the office and come home to a life that isn’t dictated by emails, reports, and urgent tasks. Because at the end of the day, we are human. We are not machines. And we all deserve the time to simply be. Work should stay in the workplace, and after-work hours should belong solely to the employee. Because at the end of the day, rest is not a privilege, it’s a right.

it’s okay if the holidays aren’t your favorite time of year. it’s okay if the cold makes you depressed, the parties make you anxious, and the food scares you. it’s okay if this time is about surviving and not celebrating. you’re not alone. we’ll get through this together.

No but I hate seeing young adults beat themselves up for not having it all at a certain age. Like the person with a career will hate themselves for not having a long education, while the person finishing their degree will hate themselves for not also working. And the person in a committed relationship will judge themselves for not also having a big friend group, while the person with lots of friends feels that they're failing because they're single. And in reality no life ever follows a set time line and it's unfair to expect anyone to have it all at once by 20 or 25 or 30 or literally any arbitrary deadline

her eyes, sparkle like an emerald

her smile, shines like the sun

her hair, lays ever so gently across her shoulders

you are the most beautiful creature god ever created

the perfect dream

the best thing i imagined if we were in a simulation

the main character in my story

my heart beats for you

i love you to death

safety.

i never wanted to be in another's arms after the last ones tore me apart but you brought me down to my knees the way you looked at me with sincerity what am i good for? what do i deserve? i got used to the treatments i would receive lessons I could never learn from for those were what was familiar to me do i truly deserve your kindness? the way you hold me like you're scared to lose me your sweet words that bring me smiles i haven't felt like this in awhile but i'm in your arms and i feel so safe can i be selfish? is that something i'm allowed to do? you could ruin me and i would say thank you and i can only wish in the end i'm the one you choose

I just love you. Sometimes I don’t believe you’re real, because it’s just so simple. There’s no bullshit, no anxiety or wondering. You just love me, want to be near me, get to know everything about me. You never waver. I’ve never had that before - and you have no idea what it means to me.

mirror, mirror, on the wall

I don't feel pretty. I don't feel pretty enough to get engaged. I don't feel pretty enough to be with you, and I most certainly don't feel pretty enough. I don't feel enough, enough to breathe in the same room as my reflection. I don't feel enough, enough to breathe in the same room as you.

I don't see myself pretty in white or pretty in anything, and I feel as though I was made for you but not made for me.

I'll still say "I do," and wonder why the hell you did too when I look like this and you look like that

and all these thoughts hound me daily taunting me the way my reflection taints my perception and you say that I'm beautiful, gorgeous, pretty, and pretty silly for thinking all these things but I don't see what you see I don't even think I see what is actually there and if I could see myself through your pretty eyes maybe I'd think I'm pretty too maybe I'd think I'm enough, enough to be yours, enough to wear white, pretty enough to be pretty.

maybe one day I'll believe that the mirror, mirror, on the wall wont shatter when I look at it and maybe that day I'll see myself in the mirror, mirror, on the wall as not the fairest of them all but still fair.

Boundaries of a woman who loves herself:

• No calls or texts after 10 p.m.

• I have a busy schedule, don't ask me to make plans last minute because I won't be available

• Don't ever disrespect me, if you do, we're done

• My time is valuable, so don't expect me to rearrange my day for anyone

• I won’t tolerate inconsistent communication—if you’re serious, be consistent

• I value my peace, so drama or negativity has no place in my life

• My boundaries are non-negotiable; if you can't respect them, we're not a match

• I don’t explain my decisions—what I choose is final

• If I’m not treated with kindness, I walk away

• My mornings are for me— don’t expect immediate replies

• I won’t entertain anyone who doesn’t respect my time or energy

• I don’t tolerate passive-aggressive behavior; be direct or be gone

• I expect effort in relationships— half-hearted attempts won’t get my attention

• I prioritize my self care— interruptions without reason aren’t welcome

• I don’t chase anyone; if you're not intentional, I’m not interested

Two rules for creating anything.

1) Make it weird.

2) Make it with love.
