awakening

The past few weeks have been an ongoing series of excitements and anticipations, a hasty creation of festive chaos and celebrations. With the endings and beginnings brought by the new year, I find myself walking a precarious balance between relaxation and restlessness. A fine line of teaching myself to calm down and allowing myself the luxury of peaceful rest has begun the battle against the need to reactivate my mind and body, urging it onwards towards the responsibilities hovering beyond the nearest corner. The exhilaration of the holidays is quickly receding, with reality’s anxious dread taking its place. The daily chores of existence are calling and I must awaken from fantasy’s slumber.
