Sleeping Beauty

Sleep is my cure all.


Whenever I feel something I don't want to be feeling,
I sleep, and it usually goes away.

If I am mad, sad, annoyed, lonely, anxious, or bored...
I sleep, and it usually goes away.

If I have a headache...
I sleep, and it usually goes away.

If my self confidence takes a turn for the worst...
I sleep, and it usually goes away.

Lately though, my cure all is not curing all.
I don't know what to do.

I used to be exactly the same!
Sleep is an easy escape and usually I'd feel better when I woke up but then I started feeling worse after sleeping so much.

So what I like to do is exercise instead of sleep. Do yoga, go for a walk, do a cheesy 80's workout video that kicks your butt, whatever. Moving makes you feel better and you feel like you've actually accomplished something when you're done instead of feeling like you've wasted two hours of your life. :)

Sometimes I wish I could sleep and not wake up because my dreams are so much better, but sadly, everyone has to wake up and face the realities of life. I have felt all those things this summer that you have listed and it has been one of the hardest things, but just as you have said to me before... you are not alone.

I have this quote by Gordon B. Hinkley. "Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with themselves; the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others."

I have tried to stop thinking of everything wrong going on in my life. It isn't always easy, but I have become a lot happier as I have realized how much I have to be thankful for. I still have plenty of hard moments, but I am looking up and and think you can too. Feel free to call if you ever need anything or anyone to talk to. :)
