Top Pick ▷ Toska (Tired) – 21st Century, Contemporary, Abstract Expression, Pop Culture by Olumide Ajayi, 2025 | Ink Painting

I’ve tried.

Tried to hold it together.

Tried to make it work.

Tried to stay hopeful.

But nothing changes, and now, neither can I.

I’ve run out of strength, not in a loud, dramatic way,just a slow, sinking kind of empty.

And maybe… maybe I don’t want to get up right now. Maybe I just want to lie here and stop fighting what keeps breaking.

This isn’t just tired. This is toska, a hollow ache with no sharp edges, a quiet sadness that sits deep in the chest and says, “You’ve carried too much for too long.”

So for now,

I’ll let myself rest in the stillness.

Not because I’ve given up, but because I need to remember

What it feels like to breathe without breaking
