While quiet can be nice, really nice, it can also be … quiet.
Very. quiet.
So. quiet. that I… am. starting. to. drifffffttttt.<\/p>\n

Like a snowbank:
smooth, serene and sleepy.<\/p>\n

Sure, blame it on the grey carpets, grey walls, empty hallways, lack of boss-like figures but is there something else going on? <\/p>\n

I have loottssss of work to do and can’t seem to do anything besides think weddingy thoughts, watch olympics and literally stare into space. a happy stare into space, a deep deep calm, slumbery smiley stare into space. <\/p>\n

I think I know what it is. Like how I used to get sick right after finals every semester, or how you go home and take a longgg nap after finally finishing that project. I think I have been stressing and fretting and relationshipping for so so long before meeting my love that now that I can rest my body is really ready to REST.<\/p>\n

And rest I am, body, mind and soul in this blissy spacey sleepy place i am not too familiar with. maybe it’s happy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
