"I honestly hadn't realized how mean I was to myself until I said it out loud.

'𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵?'

'Oh, I hadn't.'

'𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵? 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵?'

And I instinctively thought, 'Oh, is that not how it should be?'

Is it not lazy to get a full head of sleep? To work without killing yourself, and every little part of you?

Is it not lazy not to lose yourself on the way?'"
