Nights When You Can’t Sleep

On nights when you can’t sleep, it’s ok to stop trying. Get up and read. Make some tea. Have some toast. 

The moments we find out the storybook tales are true–those are hard moments. The hero face hardship. Evil does exist. Dread and fear are real and they are here.

Did we really think we would go our whole lives without this? 

There will be countless nights when you’ll sleep well. Countless boring, forgettable, not stressful evenings. Tonight will feel decades away. You’ll sleep just fine then.

On nights when you can’t sleep, it’s ok to stop trying. Do something you enjoy and just stay up.
