Hey, Pascians! How have you been lately? Hope you’re hanging in there!

Kalakbay is here with a gentle reminder for you “Do I deserve to take a break? I still have so many pending tasks…”

We hear you—it’s tough. The whirlwind of tasks, deadlines, and changes can leave you feeling drained.

But let’s take a moment to reflect on this: you’ve cried oceans, but you didn’t drown. Instead, you stayed afloat, and that’s something to celebrate.

Rest isn’t about giving up; it’s about taking a pause It’s knowing you have the option to reset—no matter how many times it takes—to get back on track. It’s a chance to change the course, shift the direction, or try a new method, but it’s never a reason to quit. Your ultimate goal is still waiting for you, so keep going

Give yourself permission to rest. Do something creative, something that recharges you emotionally, physically, and mentally Unplug, stay grounded, and just breathe. Sometimes, rest is the most productive thing you can do for yourself. You’ve made it through the hardest times before, so there’s no doubt you can conquer this one too.

Let’s move forward, Pascians, with hope, courage, and an unstoppable spirit. The journey may not be perfect, but it’s yours—and that makes it priceless. Let’s keep rolling!

Cheers,

Your fellow Pascian
