When I am tired, it's when I know I am alive.

As an aside, I once saw someone cite something somewhat profound and cited Rumi as the source, and I was like "hm that doesn't sound like him but maybe I'm just uncultured."
Turns out they were quoting Rumi from K Pop Demon Hunters and I indeed am uncultured.

haha. well consider me uncultured wrt to K pop Rumi.... I didn't know about it until your comment.
The one I am mentioning is جلال الدین محمد بلخی رومی So the sufi saint.
here's another:
"when i am sad, i have to remind myself that sadness i feel so as to qualify me to enjoy and feel joy."
this is not mine, it's a paraphrase of a poem verse from Mawlawi (aka Rumi in the West).
