Ahhh, Sleep

My best friend Justin Shattuck says “sleep is for the innocent.” I have been thinking about that lately, because I don’t sleep at all. I don’t remember having more than two nights of good sleep in the past month, and I have felt so out of it. Tonight I came home and after talking with Good Golly Miss Molly Crowe I passed out around 6PM and just woke up. I am hoping I can go back to sleep or else this will be just like my usual 4 or 5 hours of sleep I usually get.

But is sleep really for the innocent? I can’t say that I have slept very well for a long time, and it’s usually because of things that are on my mind. Too much has happened in the past year that has been so life-altering that I struggle to deal with it all in my mind on a daily basis. So much has taken away what little innocence that I had left that I can’t seem to sleep… And I can’t seem to make the leap I should for the best thing that has come along in a long, long time.

I need to sleep. I need to sleep and I need to get the courage to take a leap of faith for something I have been afraid to try for over a year.

So if you have a drink.. Beer, Liquor, Coffee, Tea… whatever. Raise your glass because here is a toast to sleep, innocence, chance and faith.

Cheers.
