Consciousness

I dread those brief seconds of unawareness and uncertainty upon waking up. 

My eyelids barely open and my brain immediately panics as it begins to recalibrate itself with a barrage of questions.
What time is it? What day is it?

Am I supposed to be somewhere today? Did I miss something?
I recollect my surroundings, orientating myself back to reality as the window shades shift shadows across my room's smooth walls.

My consciousness resumes.
My body relaxes.

It's noon on a Thursday.
I have no where to be and I have missed nothing.

  1. I miss being lost in naivety … expectation is a beast that never sleeps.

    I also just woke up and read everything you have written in 3 months…

    Home is that place that makes you feel there is no place you would rather be. Who said that? 🖤
