Sleep!
This book was not written to motivate you for a morning. It was written to sit with you in the silence you avoid.
Somewhere between childhood wonder and adult duty, many of us learned how to survive—and slowly forgot how to feel alive. We learned how to earn, adjust, compromise, and remain quiet. We learned how to be efficient, dependable, and acceptable. In the process, we learned how to silence parts of ourselves that did not fit neatly into schedules or job titles.
Nothing dramatic happened.
No single failure. No visible collapse.
