The Gift of Insomnia

I can’t sleep. It is currently 2:06am and ya girl is sitting at the kitchen table talking to you. Not that I don’t enjoy y’all, but you know. The room is the right temperature, my bed is super comfy and I’m freakin sleepy. Not to mention my handsome, lightly snoring husband is up there. Buuuuuuut so is my toddler. So there’s that.

It’s raining cats and dogs, which usually equates to excellent sleep. Not today. Today I am awake. Because this rarely happens to me— I know something is up. I’ve always been a night owl, but this ain’t that. I am not currently choosing to be awake. My mind is trespassing. It won’t stop wandering over my life.

I can’t sleep.

Compromised Self-Esteem: The Birthplace of Hate

To be clear, social media doesn’t really make anyone hate their life.  You hate your life because you hate your life.  You continue to make the same choices, revisit the same places, roll around with the same individual and wonder why nothing in your life is different.  I believe Einstein had words to say about that kind of behavior.  He called it insanity.  Einstein was correct.  Imagine that.  Unfortunately, you haven’t heard the wise words of the late great Einstein.  So, you stay on the ferris wheel. Professing to hate every minute of it.  Screaming to get off.  Yet, never removing your safety belt.  Never standing.  Never being miserable enough to stop the revolutions.
