SOME PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN, PERSONALLY FITTED, ACCUSTOM ADDICTION THAT THEY STRUGGLE WITH, WHETHER IT BE ALCOHOL, DRUGS, SMOKING OR SOMETHING ELSE. A LOT MORE HAVE ADDICTIONS THAT THEY MAY NOT EVEN REALIZE IS AN ADDICTION, THEIR PHONE, OVEREATING, OR SPENDING MONEY.

I HAVE AN ADDICTION TOO. THE DIFFERENCE IS MINE IS MORE SINISTER THAN MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE, AND IT ACTIVELY RUINS MY LIFE, YET I REFUSE TO QUIT DOING IT.

THE ECSTASY IT BRINGS ME WHEN I ALLOW MYSELF TO SAY “JUST ONE MORE TIME.” IT FEELS ALMOST HEAVENLY. IT CUTS INTO MY SCHOOL, SOCIAL, AND PERSONAL LIFE, YET I DON’T REGRET IT ONE BIT.

WHAT IS THIS ADDICTION YOU MAY BE ASKING?

ITS HITTING THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

THE INVENTION OF THE SNOOZE BUTTON ON ALARM CLOCKS WAS BOTH THE BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT IN MY OPINION, AND YET ALSO THE BIGGEST DETRIMENT.

I CANT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I WAS ACTUALLY ON TIME TO FIRST PERIOD. I SPECIFICALLY CHOSE SEMINARY AND WEIGHTS FOR MY FIRST PERIODS BECAUSE MISSING THOSE CLASSES BRING ME THE LEAST CONSEQUENCES.

OFTEN I’D SET AN ALARM FOR AN HOUR AFTER SCHOOL TO GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO REST AND RECOVER AND SOMEHOW WAKE UP AT 8 PM IN A COLD SWEAT. IF LEFT ALONE I CAN CONSISTENTLY SLEEP 15+ HOURS.

SO THAT’S MY ADDICTION. OVERSLEEPING. YOU MAY BE THINKING THAT THIS BLOG IS A CRY FOR HELP, BUT YOU WOULD BE QUITE WRONG. I DON’T WANT HELP. I MAY RECOGNIZE THAT I NEED HELP, BUT I REFUSE TO CHANGE SO THAT’S THAT.
