I wanted to sleep without tomorrow attached to it

Dear Delyara, I was tired tonight, but what I was really tired of was tomorrow. Not because tomorrow contains anything terrible. Just because I already know it will ask things from me before I have finished recovering from today. Work, replies, decisions, practical life, emotional self-management — all of it waiting in a line before I’ve even closed my eyes. Sometimes sleep feels restful. Sometimes it feels like a short pause in a sentence I’m not ready to continue. Tonight it feels like the second one.
