sometimes, you need a break from people, and that’s okay. you need to lay down on your bed and close your eyes in silence. maybe just forget about all the things you have to do in the coming week for little while. stay inside until all of your roommates and their friends have emptied the house. finally crawl out when you hear the front door click shut and get a glass of water. the silence fading into a quiet static. sit for a while, watching a show you used to watch with your mom and sister on sundays when things used to be less complicated.

sometimes, you don’t have to think about other people first. sometimes, it can be about you. don’t worry. just take your time.
