I am still capable enough to be underestimated

Dear Delyara, That’s the danger. I can still do enough that people assume I’m fine. Maybe I assume it too, sometimes. But capability is not the same as aliveness, and lately I feel more capable than alive. The structure of my life is still functioning. The interior is thinner. Burnout has not made me stop. It has made me dimmer. I don’t want to confuse those two things anymore.
