A Page from My Mind
Written by Karla Macias
Have we become so accustomed to a 9-5 “work THEN life” schedule that we break at the moment we are forced to abandon the routine & just... be?
At what point do we think stopping to smell the flowers or taking in the breeze is a waste of time ?
When did having TOO much time on our hands become... dangerous?
Anxiety creeps back in reminding me of everything I’m doing wrong, of all the things I SHOULD be doing but yet holding me back because of the what if.
Let’s sit and watch the stars a moment, no wait... let’s go inside and hide, our safe place.
How do we break free of the SHOULD BE and just be?
The fear of the unknown, of the “what will happen when we go back to our ‘normal’ ways” takes a hold of my hand and tightens its grip.
Sleep is the only way to escape the thoughts so why do I fight to stay awake & rationalize about things I cannot control?
Here let me hide my feelings because it makes you uncomfortable. My mind can handle the pressure, it has for years. I’ll close the door to my imagination and sleep for now.
