I'm tired of feeling tired...
It's a fatigue that has nothing to do with the body, the few hours of sleep, or the pace of work... It's the fatigue that enters your brain, your mind, your soul, that feeling that makes you not even want to complain anymore, because even complaining is already fatigue. Tired of the disgust that the first news brings you every morning, the first face of the politician, the oligarch you see, the eternal promise, the deception that is no longer hidden. I've reached the point where I'm tired of feeling tired.

At first, you think it's just physical fatigue. The potholed roads, public transportation, heavy traffic, dirt, long hours at work that are not properly paid, health that becomes a luxury. But then you realize that the body too. The greatest fatigue comes not from work, but from waiting. From waiting for something to change in a country that has made patience and waiting a national sport.

But the deepest fatigue is the moral and intellectual one. From a reality that insults your intelligence and the truth is distorted every day. I am tired of a society that no longer knows the difference between right and wrong. I am tired of people who think, reason, judge and label themselves as “negative”, “argumentative” or “failed”. I am tired of the mediocrity dressed in a suit, who appears on the screen every day, who proclaims himself “analyst” and manipulates public opinion. Tired of universities that sell diplomas, not knowledge. From morality that has become a currency that is exchanged for interest; honor is measured by mail; loyalty with flattery and honesty is old-fashioned and stupid. And I, who do not steal, do not deceive, do not sell and am straightforward, always remain out of the game. This is the fatigue that breaks you: living in a society where shame is a luxury and conscience is shame.

I am also socially tired of people who live for a facade. Of those who seek change, but vote for the same politicians who have tired them. Of conversations and debates that always end with: "This country is not going to work!". Of fake smiles on social networks, where everyone seems happy, who "like" injustices, but forget to raise their voices in an empty, gray and hopeless reality.

And, above all, I am tired politically. Of politicians who talk about the people, but live like emperors. Of the government that no longer has shame or restraint. Of the opposition that is no longer an alternative, but a spent hope and that behaves like the most loyal servant of the government. Of the promises that are repeated every four years, like old advertisements on a ruined wall or like scratched records: "Economic growth", "Rule of law", "European integration". Of the vote that no longer changes anything. Of the theater called "Albanian democracy", with the roles correctly divided long ago and the public left simply to applaud in a process that is only for show.

I'm tired of the disappointment that has become routine; of submission and acceptance of injustice. And of the fact that nothing hurts anymore....

This fatigue is not just mine. It is the fatigue of an entire country that is trying to move forward while carrying the heavy weight of disappointment on its back. It is the fatigue of a generation that grows up with the hope that one day it will go away. Of citizens who still believe in justice, even though every day they are proven wrong.

But perhaps, even in this shared fatigue, there is a grain of hope. Because only those who feel fatigue to the core can understand how necessary change is. Fatigue is not the end; it is the last warning before we explode.

And yet, even though I'm tired of feeling tired, something inside me still won't give up. Because maybe hope is the decision not to give in to fatigue even when you know you're exhausted.
Anyway, if I have a little strength left, I'll save it so I don't get used to this fatigue. Because when you get used to it, everything is over.

Today, honestly, I'm tired of feeling tired.
