I feel perpetually sleepy.
I have a hard time napping during the day- scratch that I can't nap during the day. My anxiety makes it impossible. However the second I crack open a book I feel like I'm going to pass out. It's very strange.

I was falling asleep all the time and all the places. Found out at the age of 23 I had a cyst in my brain blocking the liquids inside my head from flowing freely, thus affecting the whole of me in various and weird ways. Felt like shit growing up and hating everything. One brain surgery later, with complications of course, because why not? I felt like a completely new person, for good and for bad.
In what sense for bad?
I had spasms during the procedure with a bleeding in my brain as a result. Took me almost a year of getting back on my feet. But today I am super grateful to have a completely different possibility on life. This was ages ago today, but I carry it with me almost everyday.
