Am I a Bad Friend or Just Tired?

Let’s find out shall we…

Like I said previously, you’ll be seeing more of such posts from me for now… I’m just in that phase of my life, so bear with me… that said enjoy this piece…

Some days, I don’t reply.

Not because I don’t care

but because I’m tired.

Tired in my bones.

Tired in my spirit.

Tired in a way sleep can’t fix.

And when the silence stretches,

I start to wonder:

Am I a bad friend?

Because I don’t check in as often.

Because I forget birthdays,

miss calls,

leave messages unread

for hours… sometimes days.

But it’s not that I’ve stopped loving you.

It’s not that I don’t think of you.

It’s just — I’ve been pouring from an empty cup,

and now, there’s nothing left to give.

I carry guilt like a second skin.

Feeling like I’ve let everyone down,

especially the ones I care about the most.

But lately, I’ve had to ask myself:

Is this neglect? Or is this exhaustion?

Am I distant? Or just overwhelmed?

Have I failed you?

Or have I finally paused to save myself?

Because friendship, real friendship,

shouldn’t come at the cost

of your mental health.

It shouldn’t feel like a job

you’re scared of losing.

So if you’ve felt like this

if you’ve asked yourself this same question

let this be your reminder:

You’re not a bad friend.

You’re just human.

And maybe right now,

you’re healing too.

To the friends I’ve gone quiet on:

I’m sorry.

But I’m trying.

Trying to breathe again.

Trying to be a better me

so I can be better for you.

And if you’re still here when I come back,

Thank you.

That means more than you know.
