Because Sometime You Just Need To Sleep

Bone deep weariness trickles through my whole body like honey. Flesh lies heavy and muscle turns to water. The world begins to take on a different aspect through these tired eyes – edges softened, borders blurred, lights dimmed…

Because sometimes you just need to sleep. And sometimes you just need to let yourself sleep. When we resist rest, we deny ourselves the chance to refill our well… we deny ourselves the chance to dream.

Today, promise me this. Promise me that when you’re tired, you’ll rest. If it means that you have to say no, that you have to postpone, that you have to make alternative arrangements… do what you have to do in order to give yourself the gift of sleep.

You deserve this gift. And only you can give it to yourself.
