Today was long.
Let's be honest - the whole week has been long. Usually I recoup on Sunday so that when I return to work on Monday, I feel fresh, recharged, ready to take on the week. Unfortunately this Saturday night, based on drinking on haning out with people - I got virtually no sleep, which puts me in a shitty position.
No matter how much I sleep during the weeknights - I feel as if I'm 8 hours behind on rest. Ugh. All I was to do is curl up in bed, not go to work, and not wake up until at least Friday afternoon.
As a result - my brain becomes fried. I feel hazy - slower. The result of this? My writing flounders. Not only do my words stop flowing as eloquently as they should, they almost cease to bubble forth at all. That's why, much like last week, I am taking tonight off. Unlike last week though, I know where I want to keep going with my story - I just can't coax it out of my brain at the current moment.
What I can offer in instead (yup, you guess it) is a video. Wait a minute...a two part video.
One that I think is beautiful. Not in the traditional sense, but I think you'll understand once you watch it.
It's simply about a boy who is a survivor. To be honest, it's not a glamorous story at all, but I'm really drawn to it. How he bounced back from it. His attitude. His energy. He just seems like someone I'd like to meet.
I felt inspired after this story - although I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it's as simple as he just didn't give up.
What do you think?
It is a truly moving story.
You are right - there is beauty in this film. I find Ross' perspective to be incredibly strong and positive. The footage is stark and dramatic, yet his story is enveloping and to a degree, comforting.
ReplyDeleteI hope you catch up on your sleep - I know what it is like to be dazed and hazy due to lack of sleep.
ieyu, ilys!
Hey get some sleep. One way to avoid this would be to ahhh drink less and go home to sleep? Just a thought.
