Crashing Into 30: Chapter 1
I woke up early today. Really fucking early. I wasn’t sure what had stirred me, but I was acutely aware that for the last 24 hours my brain had been spinning with thoughts. I suspect my sleeping brain had grown tired of manufacturing thinly veiled metaphors for me to dream about, in an attempt to teach me life lessons.
