My Running Mind
Before I disclose the hidden struggles of my "nightly routine" I think I will start by introducing myself. I think that is only fair. I am a 23 year old part- time instructor and the other part of my time is filling in the blanks and lifting the people up around me. I have a loving family and a sweet boyfriend and I always feel the love around me but that doesn't stop my running mind when the moon comes up and my good old friend the sun leaves. Whenever I try and explain the way my mind starts to run to anyone around me they look at me like I have three heads. It's a never-ending cycle, the way my mind goes and goes when the world around me turns dark and I am all alone in my room. I can't stop the constant thoughts in my head. Correction, more like a little voice in my head demanding and insinuating I must obey or the darkness of the night will continue into the day. The way my mind runs now as an adult didn't just come out of thin air, it all started and is rooted in my fear of the night as a child.
