Apparently, these past few weeks haven't been very pleasant for a lot of people, including myself. For a lack of proper nomenclature, let's call it "hitting the wall." I've seen numerous unhappy status updates on facebook, and have also been reading the news over breakfast recently. It seems that we're not the only ones having consecutive bad days, either. Earthquakes, rockets, multiple shootings... the world is just not having a great month, in general.
So what do I do? Sleep, of course. Last night, I had the most sleep that i've had in months. I woke up after about twelve hours. I've been needing a good nap, though, since i've been staying up late to study for exams and was just very busy ever since school started up again. I think that sleep heals, and that if the whole world took the time to take a nice, long, nap, we wouldn't all be hitting the wall right now. We'd all be a lot happier, too.
The other day, for the second time in my life, I woke up crying from a nightmare. I didn't feel any tears, but I did notice that I was making crying sounds when I was half awake. The dream itself was pretty long, and the last scene that I remember had me being chased by scary people in my dorm before finding a room full of teachers and RAs. The reason I was crying was because no matter how much I begged them to make the scary people stop harassing me, they wouldn't listen, explaining that it wasn't in their power to do so. I was frustrated in my dream because they wouldn't help me, and were very nonchalant about it. I started crying while yelling at them with all my might, and that's when I woke up half-crying and feeling scandalized and upset, though a bit relieved.
This pretty much sums up how I feel about people in authority recently. Maybe my greatest fear is a world where nobody listens to reason. The last time I woke up crying was when I had that running away from a tsunami dream, which is something that I've been scared of since I learned about their existence. Hopefully, they'll never happen when I'm still alive.
I didn't mean to make such a depressing entry. Mr. Sun even came back to visit again, though it looks like he overslept today. 頑張れ, Mr. Sun!
