Sticky Notes

20: When it's 3am

When it's 3am and you can't sleep, open your window or step outside your house.

Feel the crisp, cold air on our skin.

Take a deep breath and watch as you create clouds when you breathe out.

Look at the dark blue sky that sits above your head and marvel at how beautiful it is.

Try to find the moon and the stars that guard the night sky.

Whisper all your uncertainties out onto the universe, it's okay if you let the stars carry the weight of your worries for a while.

When it's 3am and you can't sleep, make a cup of tea, grab a pen and paper and write all the things you wish you could say in the form of a letter and address them to the people you wish you had the courage to tell.

When you're done, seal them in an envelope and keep hem in the drawer of your bedside table.

Maybe one day you'll show them the words you wrote but for now, it's out in the world and that's all that matters.

When you start to shiver, step back inside.

When your hands starts to cramp, stop writing.

When you crawl back in bed and try to sleep, I hope you feel a little lighter.
