I stayed in bed longer than I needed to

Dear Delyara, This morning I stayed in bed for twenty extra minutes, not because I was sleepy, but because I didn’t want to begin being myself yet. That sounds strange written down, but it felt true. The day hadn’t even started and I already felt behind it. I could feel the weight of messages, decisions, work, and small responsibilities before I had even put my feet on the floor. Eventually I got up and did what adults do. Tea. Clothes. Replies. The performance of being fine enough to enter the day. But the truth is, I was tired of life before breakfast.
