Lying down in my life
Let it be known that I love my bed. I just got home from Seattle yesterday, and being in my childhood bed is a literal dream. When people ask "what would you save in a house fire?" you bet the answer is going to be my mattress.
Lying in it reminds me of how soft it is. It’s like being enveloped in a bunch of tiny chinchillas. As much energy as I have to do things and talk to other people, I've probably spent double that time in bed. What am I doing?
Anything really.
Reading, playing on my phone, playing games, going back to sleep, thinking up random ideas or fun things. I feel like it's a really meditative experience for me... But also I'm pretty lazy. In fact, I've been up and writing this using the Squarespace mobile app on my phone... Mostly because I didn't want to get my computer from my backpack.
This blog is meant to be a more casual thing, like Someone I Met... But around what makes me want to lie down. And trust me, that's a lot.
I just wanted to document everything that makes me want to lie down. No matter how fun, frustrating, saddening, or maddening it is. Whether it's overwhelming, or under, lying down is just a reminder that sometimes I need to just chill.
