GPOYW - That would be me in the middle of the dance floor at Suede on Saturday. I didn’t want to go out that night, but because a friend was in town for the weekend, I said I’d go out for one drink.  Well, one drink turned into seven. Then I ended up at Huddle House, and then I was up until almost 5AM pigging out on my leftover birthday cake, watching random Youtube videos and getting even more intoxicated with my neighbor. Despite waking up about four hours later to take my neighbor to get his keys from our friend’s house, and spending most of the day napping before going out for dinner and drinks with friends, I somehow miraculously felt fine Monday morning. Rarely ever do I catch up on sleep that fast. I’m grateful, though, because I’ve been getting shit done all week like a bawse.

Despite waking up about four hours later to take my neighbor to get his keys from our friend’s house, and spending most of the day napping before going out for dinner and drinks with friends, I somehow miraculously felt fine Monday morning. Rarely ever do I catch up on sleep that fast. I’m grateful, though, because I’ve been getting shit done all week like a bawse.

It’s nearly 3AM, and I am wide awake. After laying in bed for over an hour, I finally decided to get up and go outside, and almost instantly I was reminded of why I used to love spending so much time outside here in my parents’ neighborhood at night: absolute serenity. The moon was full and bright, and as the clouds passed over, the shadows in the moonlight came and went. Everything was calm and still with the faint sound of crickets and tree frogs in the distance, and then you could hear the leaves start to rustle, the sound growing louder as the breeze approached. Despite the chill it brought, even while wearing a sweatshirt and fleece pajama pants, it felt nice. And then, the sound of the breeze moving through the trees faded into the distance just as quickly as it had approached. If it wasn’t for the fact that I had intended to get up early in the morning to get a ton of shit done, I probably would’ve spent a lot more time out there. Instead, I’m going to try once again to fall asleep. And, if I’m still awake in an hour, I’m going to stuff my face until my blood sugar spikes and I pass out.

Suspiciously Colorful Gorilla by suspiciouslycolorful I love this but unfortunately know nothing more about the artist aside from their Reddit profile, which doesn’t offer much. I’d really like to see more of their work. Also, it’s nearly 2AM and I’m still awake. I tried going to bed two hours ago, but clearly that hasn’t worked out to my liking. The whole getting back on a normal sleep schedule thing is a major fail right now.

Fucking Trapped

I feel like nothing in my life is completely stable right now, and it’s driving me crazy. There’s just so much up in the air, and I would do anything for the ability to just fast forward past all the upcoming bullshit.

Right now, I want nothing more than to move. I’m still crashing at my parents’ house after two months, and I dread the idea of going back out to my house in Summerville. It’s an hour away from everything in my life, so I feel trapped there. 

I also don’t consider it a home. To me, that place is nothing more than a structure that houses my belongings and over a year of bad memories. I’ve tried being happy there, but it’s just too hard.
