A Deal with The Sandman
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.

March 2025 Free Write Journal
3/19: Rough day to be honest. And it's strange because I have no idea why I'm in the dumps. I would love to blame it on Mercury but let's be honest, there is usually something else too right? Either biologically, mentally, or emotionally...So I keep thinking about what it could be. Then I feel stupid because of what I "preach" and struggle to practice myself all the time.
