the early bird doesn’t get sleep. that’s for damn sure.

on slowing down.

August 21, 2012

I keep talking about how crazy busy life is and about how much anxiety I have over everything — especially these next few months. Yet I haven’t given myself a second to breathe, or to truly be present. I am putting all of this pressure on myself to do it all — work 50 + [...]
