this morning #2117.

this morning, after opting to sleep on top of the sheets with the window slightly cracked to let in the breeze, i woke up feeling calm for once. cool. my body unburdened by the usual stress of a night spent trying to sleep through the sweat. they say that the night’s designed to be a time to let the mind & body reset for the next day. along the way, i’d forgotten that fact. resigned myself to restlessness. night after night stifled & swaddled followed by long mornings weighed down by the recovery that should’ve occurred during the previous night’s sleep. today though, jumping jacks are not out of the question. overwhelmingly awake in a wholly refreshing way. this must be what it feels like to truly be alive.
