I don’t even know how to start today. I have a sleep consultation at 10:45 and thank god, because I sleep and I don’t know how to coexist. Ironically enough, I find the myth of the Sandman to be fascinating. Mysterious, twisted, and an amazing balance of light and dark, conscious and subconscious. And yet, I struggle with sleep.

You know, the booming tradition, especially in friend circles or workplace environments, where you toss your name into a hat, then pick a name that isn’t yours to get a gift or gifts for Christmas.

These books resonate with me. Whether it's because something about life clicked, or it changed my point of view, or captured exactly what I believe, or helped me in my life, or simply changed my perspective and gave me a sense of understanding.
