You know when you need to pee? And you’re jumping from foot to foot, Trying to finish off the thing you’re involved in – Yet failing because you just can’t think straight? Then you take care of the necessities and everything is easier? Same same with exhaustion.
Spent this morning speaking with a bunch of 10 year olds – All about stress and anger, worry and anxiety, depression and sorrow.
