Some months my community activism can be overwhelming to the point where I want to scream at the top of my lungs. Other months I feel like I haven’t done enough. This past week has been one of those weeks where I’m constantly asking myself, “When is it too much? When do I push myself too far and could I have prevented it?”
The past two weeks I’ve been asked to be a part of 3 events, 2 speaking engagements, 1 photo shoot and this weekend I’m campaigning. Oh and did I mention next week I start school full time (for the first time ever I’m taking 15 credits), will continue to work part time and then for the weekend I’m flying out of state? If MTV gives my family the reality show there will definitely be plenty of material to shoot, but would America catch me having a breakdown?
When is it too much? I’m already stressing next month, BUT at the same time I couldn’t be more excited about pushing myself and excelling in so many different things. I know I can do whatever I put my mind to, but I still need to remain sane to do it. I want to be remembered for helping others and standing up for everything I believe in; but at the same time, I still want a life and to be able to enjoy every moment I spend with that amazing man I’m blessed to say is with me.
Maybe October should be just about me …
