English is a stupid language that cannot adequately express what I'm trying to communicate

You know how sometimes, at the end of a long day of work where you actually did something, you have this combination of exhaustion and pride in a job well done? Like there’s something in the completion of a herculean task that fills you with satisfaction, or would, if you weren’t so physically and mentally drained from finishing it? It’s like that balance between exertion and the gratification that comes with accomplishment. The thing that drove the Little Engine that Could, or keeps Snoopy in the dogfight against the Red Baron, or pushes Garfield to eat the lasagna despite the fact he’s already eaten like six of them. What was my point here? Oh yeah, don’t tell a girl “you look tired” and English is a stupid fucking language that doesn’t have the words you need.
