Can't sleep, so here I am, two hours early.
Ever not been able to breathe? It's really scary. Really scary. You're just lying there thinking, okay this is temporary, probably the position I'm lying in, and you turn over and it gets worse and you're just praying, please give me back my breath I need air I need air I need air and you can tell where in your trachea the air is stopping and your lungs feel like they're going to burst and youre sure your parents can hear you wheezing at the other end of the house..
And then you calm down when your breathing gets easier and borrow your gran's inhaler and everything gets clearer and back in focus.
It's the most beautiful feeling in the world. Like breathing for the first time.
Wow, I got poetic.
