I am working through my burnout cycle, 
which is to say, I have said no this summer. 
It is not a perfect system yet, and I know it never will be.
Not just because there is never an end, but because I am the problem.
I will make myself, my health, my peace, the priority,
but the part of me that cannot stand for waste will advocate for herself too.
She is the one that says, we can, so we should. 
She rolls her eyes at those comfortable with the status quo.
She judges- herself first and foremost, for not doing more. 
But that seeps into her opinion of her peers. 
She asks, How can you sit here with what we have at our finger tips and squander it?
