What is the best excuse you have heard lately?
If I had to choose one, it would be this:
“I broke down on the side of the road.”
No further explanation.
Most people would assume my car had broken down.
But in reality,
I broke down.
Not because of a flat tire or a dead battery, but because the weight of life finally caught up with me.
Tears of exhaustion.
Tears of carrying more than I thought I could.
Tears of being a burned-out single parent trying to hold everything together.
Sometimes the greatest breakdowns aren’t mechanical. They’re emotional.
And sometimes, the strongest thing you can do is admit that you need a moment before you can keep moving forward.
