Hazelnut Lattes & Pain - both of which stay in my system for far too long.
It’s 04:09 am to be exact. I should be sleeping, but I’m not. I’m fully clothed in my gym wear, ready to set out for a run, after struggling to sleep for a good part of tonight. Now might be a great time to get myself checked out for insanity, is this where I finally lose it?
My lack of sleep is due to the dozen hazelnut lattes I’ve had in the past several weeks; my latest poison. I don’t drink coffee for a reason, and this is it. Although I haven’t noticed any tremors, coffee, like pain, lingers in my system for far too long. And I suppose it adds up, just like pain. I’ve been having trouble sleeping for weeks, and it’s both familiar and worrying since I’ve had a couple of these episodes in the past few years, and it’s a sign that something is really wrong.
If you’re wondering why a girl clothed in her running gear sat down to write this, it’s because it seemed too dark and too early, to be out jogging alone. The minute I was about to step outside, I grew nervous and felt unsafe. So I sat down and ran with my thoughts instead. Unfortunately for my body, this burns zero body fat.
But maybe now that it’s almost 05 am, it might be a little safe out there? Oh what a paradox. I can’t believe I got out of bed and got into my gym bra only to end up writing this.
