alasanonIt’s okay, I have to remind myself, to divest yourself of the grieving martyrdom of being Correct in All Thoughts at All Times. You don’t need to care 24/7, you’re allowed to enjoy imperfect media, stories written for the purpose of telling a story, not to educate or examine. You can be simple.
Things don’t have to Matter So Much all the time. It’s okay to sleep.
It’s okay to dream.
It’s okay to just exist and hum along with a song that you haven’t listened to in a decade and to think of being in your twenties and remember — because you wrote it down, because you know how you felt — and to think, no, things weren’t simpler then, it was just easier to hide because you weren’t on constant display.
We’re in the liminal part of the year, the light increasing by seconds every day, the numbers on the clock about to reset to 00:00:00, the calendar flipping to 1. Remember when the months were personified and January was a baby and December an old man? Remember when candles felt like a strange magic instead of a vague danger?
Remember when you slept at night?
Go on, go do that, at least for tonight. I love you. Sleep.
