Perhaps equally true (or even the same thing) is that we have not only to grow, ourselves, in our ability to love and find love, but those around us in our acquaintance must needs grow as well. Sadly, we don't get to accelerate their enlightenment. So it comes to the great tragedy of timing. Something so entirely out of our control that it is even less than utter folly to try to plan it. Perhaps the tiredness you fear is less weariness and more acceptance; of yourself, of your standards, your limitations and your patience. Whatever you may feel today about life and love and your own capabilities to delight in them, I, for one, believe. Celebrate where you are today and know that the only constant is change, my friend.
