i genuinely cannot remember the last time i slept properly. for seemingly as long as i can remember now, i've had nights of constant waking and restlessness. perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if not for for the fact that i need to keep up with maintaining this ship. i'm constantly running on fumes but life marches on, and if i don't keep pace then the ship falls apart and i fall off into the void of space.
sometimes i wonder if others feel the same way i do, because they all seem to handle it far better than i. what makes us so different, why is it they can live their lives while i'm stuck struggling to even conjure up the energy to get out of bed in the morning to feed myself? truthfully, it's hard to tell. especially when those around me so willingly joke about how tired they are, and how it's just "a part of being an adult". but is it? i really don't know. but what i do know is how it leaves me feeling: weak, isolated, incompetent.
maybe i am all three of those things, and this only exacerbates it to the point where it becomes clear to me.
or maybe i'm just too tired to think about this properly.
i don't know.
