" Taking a break allows your brain and body to get the necessary recharge it needs to keep going." - BRITTANY JOHNSON.

You must be tired, right?
It's all frustrating, you are about to give up, and you feel like you should give up.
It's all tumbling and you can't seem to fix it, just because you are weak. Would you rather not want me to call you weak?... Yunno, it's okay to be weak sometimes.

Life is with ups and downs, that's certain. We rise every day to struggle one way or the other {Don't be fooled, everyone struggles, it's just in a different way}. After our daily struggles, we all deserve that break, whether it's a short or long break. When I say 'break', the first thing that might come to mind is 'going on a holiday'. That's right but it's not just limited to that, it can also be done in the comfort of your environment.
