DailyPrompt—2120

Oh boy… 🫣
You’re asking the right (or wrong) question today, haha.

Two things I always try to skip:

• Rest
• Going to bed at a proper time

Yes, I know… terrible.
And yes, I’m laughing at myself while typing this 😂

I think I have some sort of…
sheet-phobia?
Or maybe I’m just allergic to bedtime.
Let’s call it a Sagittarius-Scorpio condition and move on 😌

The truth is:
When the house finally gets quiet —
kids asleep, husband settled, animals fed —
that’s when my soul exhales.

The silence becomes my sanctuary.
I can finally think.
Create.
Write.
Channel.
Wander through the great world wide web,
falling down rabbit holes of curiosity.

I’ve always been a night owl.
My best “work” happens after midnight,
when the world is still
and the veil feels thinner.

Do I need more rest and sleep?
Definitely.
Do I actually do it?
Nope.
Not even close.

Most nights I try to convince myself
to go to bed at a reasonable hour…
but the quiet pulls me in like gravity.
And suddenly it’s 02:47 a.m.
and I’m still here —
writing, thinking, dreaming,
trying to make sense of everything.

Maybe one day I’ll surrender to proper sleep.
Until then…
I’ll be awake
with the owls and the stars 🦉✨
