Tired But Inspired
Dearest Night Owls,
I hope you all are having the absolutely best Thursday. Let me ask you all a question. Have any of you felt so fixed and drawn on something that it becomes so difficult to concentrate on anything else? If so, then you have an idea of how I am currently feeling.
Again, today, I find myself waking up way too damn early. I seem to be waking up at around the same time, every day this week. Today, at 0433, I woke up and cursed at my clock as soon as I realized that I woke up too soon. That stupid clock! How dare you do your job and tell me the correct time of the day! After reality set in, I put my sleep mask back on over my eyes and continued to lie in bed. I stayed in bed for another hour, with no success in actually falling back asleep. After 05:30 PM, I gave up and got out of bed.
Currently, I am in a foggy state of being. I wish that I wasn't feeling so exhausted. If in a perfect existence, I would love to feel completely rested and energized as soon as I roll out of bed and my feet hit the floor. Sigh. We do not live in a world with a perfect existence. Now, I have this huge longing to express my passionate side but I am currently too damn tired to do anything about it. Though, I am fighting through my lethargy just to update my blog. I feel like I am just babbling now, but at least I am doing something.
On a separate note, have any of my fellow night owls been keeping up with The Handmaid's Tale on Hulu? I watched the latest episode last evening and I am itching to see the next episode. The song that played at the end of the last episode struck a deep chord within me, so I had to look it up. It turned out to be a Coldplay song, so I decided that I want to post the song below:
I am really loving the soundtrack to the show. For those of you would may be interested in watching The Handmaid's Tale, just be forewarned that the show has a great deal of traumatic and/or triggering subject matter. I really try to not be one of those people who drops spoil alerts and gives away details to popular television shows and movies.
Last night, at work, it was a relatively busy night for me. I am not the only person who has been struggling with sleeplessness, so I empathize. Again, in a perfect existence, sleeplessness or insomnia wouldn't be an issue. I wish rest, peace, and happiness for everyone!
La vie est une fleur dont l’amour est le miel...
La vie est une fleur dont l’amour est le miel.
C’est la colombe unie à l’aigle dans le ciel,
C’est la grâce tremblante à la force appuyée,
C’est ta main dans ma main doucement oubliée. ~ Victor Hugo (Le roi s’amuse, 1832)
Translation: Life is a flower, of which love is the honey.
It’s the dove and the eagle united in the sky.
It’s grace trembling at insistent force,
It’s your hand sweetly forgotten in mine.
