this was so beautiful, i’m in awe of your talent 💗 by the way, i was a insomniac for a long time, i spent 3 days not being able to sleep and it’s the most awful thing ever! my insomnia was a result of my depression, so i starting taking meds and now that my depression is gone, i can sleep like a normal person without the pills. never thought that would happen, so thank you for writing this post and representing all the insomniac girlies out there 🥺

Oh man, literally have been struggling with insomnia myself the last several months and I will never take sleep for granted ever again. Your writing is honestly magnificent and I am slightly envious at your gift with words, but mostly just inspired :’)
