day63 - rest is mandatory

dear luci,

you won't hear much from me tonight, I'm sorry to say. but also- I'm not the least bit sorry. I had plans tonight to hang out with a lovely friend, but as the day progressed, I realised that I should do the kind thing and ask for a raincheck. I didn't have the energy, plain and simple, and I haven't had a proper night to myself in a while.

"You start to realise that your time is yours." — The Ash Files, the truth about reinventing yourself

A friend reminded me of this today.

So tonight, did I do anything incredibly fulfilling? Did I start a new hobby? Did I delve deep into study? Did I watch something I've been meaning to watch for ages?

No, I didn't.

I read some X-Men comics— guilty as charged. The '90s are crazy. Men are in head-to-toe bodysuits, and women are in... neck to crotch bodysuits. If they're lucky. Why did they give the wolf-lady super furry clevage? Why is she prowling around in a V-neckline vest that plunges pretty much all the way down to her crotch?

But, sidetracks aside (haha?), I actually did do something.

I made something.

How come? Because I wanted to. Because I had the time to do something that I hope will make somebody I care about feel good. I'm no longer trapped in the purgatory of "I meant to..." or "I was thinking of...". I could just do.

So I did.

And I'm so glad I asked for a raincheck. I needed to do this, tonight.

Sweet dreams, Luci <3
