Ha, what a loaded question! I don’t think whether there’s a single person in this world who doesn’t need a break ever. Everyone needs a break from someone or something whether from work or from life.
For me, I can always use a break from my mom and her noises. I had a break from her when she went to Japan in December. I remember the peace and relatively noise-free environment. It was a lovely couple of weeks but now, I want more.
After the weeks of independence, I am now feeling more constrained than before, as if I’m being wrapped in rounds and rounds of rope and zipties and I can’t move. Maybe part of it is because I’ve been feeling incredibly fatigued because of my thyroid acting up or maybe I’m just emotionally drained because of the environment becasuse while I want to get away, I haven’t had the energy to get up and move. Instead, I find myself just lie on the couch and sleep despite the noise.
I also feel like she has somehow purposefully turned the volume even higher, as if to see just how tolerant I can be. I want to watch antenna programming on TV but I can’t hear unless I’m standing right in front of the TV because that’s how loud she plays her YouTube videos these days and this has forced me to only watch shows on the Fire Stick with headphones on.
So do you see why I need a break? Now more than ever?
This is Another Story 
Break? I’m the one who needs a break. Just yesterday, when I left to run errands I said I love you my wife, as we do. Her reply? You better.

Everyone needs a break, or they will break. Just hope that your mom sees that and acts accordingly.

I absolutely have to do that but first, I need to get better. My vacation won’t be good with me constantly feeling fatigued.

A lot of people would probably agree with you, Yinglan! Sometimes it feels like a break is really needed to tune out of everything and take a time out.
