I find myself having a hard time falling asleep tonight. I'm exhausted. But really, sleep hasn't been coming easily and once I hit that second, third, or even fourth wind, my body defies what logic tells it aka sleep ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm in way over my head. Maybe that's a feeling I've had for a while, it just consumes me in different veins. But here's the thing: I'm happy. I am ridiculously happy in this confusion I am in, I'm happy that my intellect is fighting my emotions again and for once my emotions are winning out. Logic can be a stupid little thing.
