They Called it Hustle

But It Felt Like Disconnection

They told you to grind.

To wake up earlier.

To chase the dream harder.

To never let them see you rest.

And when you burned out —

they clapped for your ambition.

But no one asked if you were tired of pretending

that success was the same as peace.

No one asked if your body ever felt

like a stranger beneath the pressure.

They called it hustle.

But you knew it was spiritual starvation.

So you’re choosing something else now:

Sustainable. Sacred. Soul-led.

A life where joy isn’t the reward —

it’s the way.

You don’t owe the world exhaustion

to prove your worth.
