Maybe if I sleep long enough I’ll wake up happy.
Have you ever woken up restless? Woken up with this dire need to do something. Something grand, something big, something meaningful.
Something,
anything to help you feel a little more purposeful.
When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person’s body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings.
