morning

[decafcoffee]

what are your mornings like? anything you enjoy about them?
do you often remember dreams when you wake up?
what do you eat for breakfast?

i try so hard to remember my dreams, but its often a feeling of something slipping away as i try to grab on to it. same as when i manage to realize im dreaming, then promptly wake up! its like, my eyes are already partly open, even though i am still dreaming.

i loved having peaceful mornings to myself when i lived alone. if i manage to have my own place again, i will certainly try to start waking up at 0400 like i used to. it felt wonderfully productive just getting out of bed so early and eating something hearty and healthy (usually oatmeal).

i love morning walks listening to music. i once had a perfect nature walk when it was misty, and i somehow connected the atmosphere to when i used to go to elementary school in a foresty area. it was interesting, like the first time i felt that since i was attending the school.

i am glad i discovered that decaf coffee isnt always bad. i used to cherish the feeling of the first few hours of waking up, because i felt the least mentally ill, but anxiety would start after my coffee. i so loved the routine of bean grinding and french pressing. now, i can possibly re-start that at some point without worry of ruining my mood.

good lord, its also great to stay in that dreamlike state. i almost always feel "normal" when i am dreaming. nothing is wrong with me there.

mornings are so important, if theres stress right away it all goes to shit.

The only thing I like about mornings is that it ends the pitch black darkness night time brings. I absolutely hate nights now especially if I stay up all night stuck inside the house all alone doing the same pointless lifeless routines and bored out of my fucking mind with nothing to look forward to besides sleep. Atleast with mornings I can finally get out of the house even though I don't even do much of anything during the day either. My life is pathetic. :/

I like the way that you write about mornings.

I appreciate mornings when I am in nature, with few people around.

When I worked nights, and rode my bike 5 km home before the rest of the world was up, especially on a misty summer morning.
Long ago mornings in Victoria, BC with fog horns.

Thank you for helping me remember something good.

Edit: After living in Asia as a child, I am not tied to traditional breakfast foods. This morning, I had shrimp linguine for breakfast. The garlic and red pepper flavours had blended overnight in the fridge, and it was sublime.

shit, i feel the same about dark. used to love it. i still rather do if its not too cold outside and i can just wander alone for hours randomly, its quite dreamlike to do that as well for me. as for light, i was fortunate enough to realize that twinkle lights are great for me. i just have several nice warm glowing strings going around my fake trees and whatnot. makes me feel more like im in a cozy coffee shop or pub. totally better than all those years i spent literally shutting out all light even during the day. i feel pathetic right now, after being in college at least. volunteering does help but yeah having no friends or job is rough.

oooh i loved how nice my veg stews tasted the next day. i will try to keep that habit up if i get my own place again. well, all the nice habits can return i guess. i ate so fucking much stew that many times it didnt even last, or barely at all, til the next day. i probably wouldnt do that now, because i always got so incredibly bloated. that cant be healthy. try to have more variety.

mornings are when i climb out of the refuge of sleep, into the hell that is my existence

I adore irony and dark humour helps me cope.
Thank you for the bug eyed jazz hands rainbow of painful daily minutia;)
This actually makes me giggle, the way the phrase "positive affirmations" gets me going!

Can you cook where you are now? There's more to life than stew! Tomatoes and cheese on toast.

There was a period where I loved Sunday mornings. I would drink chocolate wine, sit by the window, and smoke weed and cigarettes.

i can cook, i just dont want to here. ive never tried cheese and tomato on toast. i could probably do a good grill of that on a skillet. or french toast. both sound good but id prefer the french toast. stew is the best though. it has the added edge of being very good for me. i eat lots of expensive healthy or somewhat healthy snack bars. my main diet goal is not to spike blood sugar and nutrition and i hate how expensive those tasty snacks are now i cant just buy boxes of snack cakes like i used to, and eat for breakfast.

Mornings are the worst,it's hard to get up. All the negative thoughts well up and threaten to devour me.
