My body don suffer for this Lagos more than my heart

I no know who need to hear this but your body is not a machine. Last week I was juggling three editing gigs, sleeping 4 hours max, surviving on pure caffeine and vibes. My back started hurting and I just ignored am. Then my left eye started twitching nonstop. My friend said 'Chi-Chi, when last you sleep?' I laughed. That night I collapsed in my bathroom. Just woke up on the floor, confused.

I went to the hospital, the doctor said stress and burnout. He asked me 'what are you running from?' and I honestly didn't have an answer. I was just running because everyone around me is running. We think rest is for the weak but the weak ones are the ones who never stop.

Now I'm learning to set boundaries. No more taking calls after 9pm. My body is the only house I'll ever live in and I was treating am like a Airbnb. Who else is guilty of this?
