Couldn't sleep - or at least I went to bed with an image imprinted in my mind and panicked for a bit and then realised I needed to rest and so I slept but kept waking up throughout the night with the story fusing with any coherent thoughts I had.
Hence I'm awake at 0530 hrs. It's much easier to turn on the light and tell yourself to - I wanted to say, "Man up," however that would be perpetuating gender stereotypes that males have courage which isn't necessarily true for all men, and using that would negate the experiences of women who are brave.
Human up?
Sometimes I just feel that the thoughts in one's minds need to be said. Or typed out. Somehow the process of formulation of a sentence is aided when you produce it for the purpose of being said/written. When they're all left to the recesses of your mind they're all jumbled up and messy.
