Little Boat : Day 51 #100daysofwriting

Lying in bed
Pretending
That the rain
Isn't rain
But the ocean
Lazily lapping
Against my little boat
Like Owl and Pussy Cat
I'm floating to my future
I can feel
The sun
Smell the salt
Warmth radiates
The fantasy smashes
With urgent sirens
And I'm back in bed
And it's raining.

Headspace : Day 42 #100daysofwriting

I'm in a weird headspace. Picture me weeping over a sitcom where a girl gives her baby up for adoption. Shaking with tears.

I packed too much into my evening last night and lay awake for hours. Feel like tonight could go the same way. Or not. I'm so sleepy and really don't want to write a post. I know I'm actually just afraid that I might start to unpack some of the things that are on my mind. Things that keep me up at night aren't easy to discuss. My head is a jumble of stuff - not all of it even my stuff.

I'm just going to try to sleep now.

Low Low Low : Day 8 #100daysofwriting

I've been on a mission to wake up earlier and last two mornings have been a success. I have also managed to get to sleep more easily. As a result my body clock has reset.
 

Maybe because winter is the season of snuggly vibes? That said, all I can think about is how much I'd like to just go to sleep right now. Again - rare - I have a nasty habit of staying awake extremely late, struggling to settle, and just not falling asleep.
 

I'm the queen if the Sunday afternoon nap, even on a sunny afternoon, yet even the hint of a street light drives me to night time insomnia. It really makes no sense.
 

I try to avoid taking medicine unnecessarily since I've cleaned up my lifestyle with regards to addictive substances. A glass of wine really did help me sleep in the old days, and I don't want to depend on something chemical now. I know there are natural options, but I'd rather do it totally naturally.
 

So far these conditions and changes are helping: warm bed, a little incense, an eye mask, drastically reduced coffee intake and all before noon, and a really cool app that cuts the blue light from my phone after sundown.
 

I apologise if my writing structure is off - just focus on the info.

Good night!
