Usually on weekends you catch up on sleep, well at least that is how it usually works out for me. This weekend however, I got basically no sleep. I have always been wound pretty tight when it comes to getting adequate sleep and all of that stuff but I think it was actually very good for me to just live a little bit and stay up until it was basically light outside.
The thing that is cool about staying up late is that nothing is really open. I feel that most people would find a problem in this. What I like about not much being open is that it forces people to talk and bond. You can learn so much about a person in just of couple hours of talking. This weekend I was really shown how great of people I have in my life. It was even pretty sweet to be reminded of that every time I felt tired.
So I don’t know if you guys know, but I am doing the February challenge where everyday I do something I have never done before. I had no idea that it was going to impact me like it has. I wake up excited everyday plus I am also very happy and energetic. Last night I caught and held a chicken for the first time in my life. I don’t know about you but I think it is pretty sweet that this challenge is making me do something creative with my life.
Because of this challenge I have also met some amazing people. These people are a lot of the reason I did not get as much sleep as usual this weekend. They are also the reason why I am in one of the most amazing things ever as I write this post. I hope everyone has the nerve to be spontaneous at times and maybe give up a couple of hours of sleep to live a little.
You make me smile, Erica. Your post reminds me of my husband, who says he hates to sleep "because he might miss something." I love sleeping. If I give up even a couple hours, my functionality decreases dramatically the next day. I have, however, on a few occasions enjoyed staying awake through the night. It almost feels as if you have a secret with the dawn, when you have watched it conquer the dark.
