I wish I was more of a ritual-prone person. There's something admirable about someone who has a daily ritual that they can actually stick to and enjoy, and it not feel like a form of torture.

Being a writer, I would love if I could wake up every morning before the sun rises and ritually write for two hours. That sounds like such an amazing and productive way to begin my morning. It would also ensure that I finish my book of poetry some time in this decade. But as soon as I thought about it, I mentally shut the idea down. That thought process looked a little something like this:

[the side of me that advocates for and craves a ritual]: hmmm maybe I could try to wake up every morning before the sun rises and do some writing.

[the side of me that advocates for my bed]: um...hell to the NO. U don't sleep enough as is so...no.

Smh. lol . Still...I want a ritual. Maybe I can be a bit more realistic. I've never been a morning person. I'm not really a day time person period. I like the night. The moon. The way the darkness of a late hour is both calming and electric at the same time. I love it. So maybe i can just ritually write at a specific time every late late night. Hmm. We'll see.
