Sometimes I feel such a strong need to shut off from everything, because it feels too tiring to have to keep processing what the world wants, to contemplate the consequence of each and every action, to infer the words and actions of everyone and everything.
These sound simple, but they are in fact seriously mind-boggling activities.
It doesn’t help that having such active thought processes means that even when you sleep, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your mind is getting rest. And you wake up more tired than the day before.
But enough of rants. It’s time to think of this week’s gratitude list.

I agree with that. “Though you’re sleeping doesn’t necessarily mean that your mind is getting rest.” I can wake feeling totally drained some mornings.
Worse still when you think about rAndom things the whole night and couldn’t sleep a wink
I know I wrote a poem last year the insomnia dance. I wrote as I was tossing and turning. I am training myself to empty my mind. Hard to do but when I succeed I sleep well those nights.
