What are you waiting for?
Typical criticism from others:
"You know, if you stay up late tonight, it will just be harder on you in the morning. You should go to bed at a reasonable hour. Why can't you keep a normal schedule?"
The response never said:
"Maybe, but I like it that way. I like the numbness that comes with being exhausted, the oblivion, and the quiet chaos that exists only in my own mind.
Everyone else's problems are suddenly the farthest from my own, because I have things in my own life to deal with as well.
If I am tired, I have a qualified excuse to keep to myself at home, to turn off the ringer and not answer my cell phone, to evade the constant problems, drama and bullshit associated with other human beings that, most of the time, do not concern me anyway.
Sometimes, I do not even need to try to block things out, the exhaustion does it for me.
...And I like that."
