Getting more and more lost?

A friend commented today that I looked quite tired. I just told her that no matter what, I'll just go on. I have many dreams... Let's just start from the immediate ones of juggling my various commitments - So many needs need to be met, of myself and others- something along the lines of work-life balance. I have other dreams too...which I see some of my friends/acquaintances living them out in other parts of the world...but cos' I don't come from a prvileged family, I can't do that. I tell myself that I'm working hard now cos' I want to achieve those dreams. But I'm really s.t.r.e.t.c.h.e.d. Am I trying to do too much? (as in meet the needs of myself and loved ones, yet at the same time trying to reach for my dreams?) Sigh. I just know that I'm quite tired really. The frustrating thing is that I KNOW the importance of work-life balance etc. and am trying to do it as best as I can (see previous post for an e.g.). But just the doing of it in itself is making me feel tired.

I think I need more space. More space and time for this nerd/country folk/philosopher in me.
