Take a Break

Slow down.
Rest.
Take a break.

These are things I constantly tell myself I need to do, but life swoops in and carries me on adventure after adventure, task after task, struggle after struggle. And when it's all said and done, I'm burnt out. 

Elements of the past few days have ranged from a monotonous drive across half the country to ear splitting cheers of a basketball game at my old high school. Car troubles to enveloping never-let-me-go hugs Miserable sickness to honey-glazed croissants. 

Now, laying here in this comfortable-but-not-mine hotel bed, I'm feeling oh so ready to just to empty my mind of everything unnecessary and do nothing for once.
