I’m in that place,
Where I’m not asleep yet,
But I’m not dreaming,
I’m aware of what’s going on,
But my eyes are closed,
And everything’s somehow cloudy and blurred,
I feel no pain,
I feel absolutely nothing,
But somehow I know I’m alive,
I’m thinking,
But not voluntarily,
Just existing,
Not doing anything,
I’m perfectly fine like this,
I could stay here forever,
In this middle world,
In between the blissful dream world,
And the dark, miserable real world,
I’m perfect,
For now.

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
