said mama papa do
leave the light on
when i'm comin' home to you
'cause I get scared in the dark at night
when I can't find my key
so leave the light on for me.
i was never so relieved to see the sunrise.
5. 5:30. 6...6:30.........the sun didn't want to wake up.
fell asleep around 8 am.
i remember thinking before i went to bed,
i wouldn't mind if every day were like today.
waking up to my body's own alarm clock.
laughing and dancing with oppa to ghood (no typo) music.
eating a yummy meal by umma.
reading in bed and falling asleep like a full baby.
talking to a precious friend all night.
but it was so hard to sleep.
it took so long to get myself to turn the light off.
the darkness too thick and heavy.
the silence too loud.
the mind a jellyfish in its own sea of thoughts.
floating. drowning?
but one thought stood out;
don't get too comfortable.
don't wish every day was like today.
there's not enough time to get comfortable.
and always give thanks
even when you're not comfortable.
you're not supposed to be comfortable.
there's no time for that in this world.
and i got scared.
went to the restroom three more times.
turned this laptop on and off about twice.
and fell asleep with a book in my face.
