Have you ever wondered, "Why am I not happy when my life looks so good?" This personal story explores how we slowly lose ourselves one decision at a time—and how we find our way back by including ourselves in our own lives again.

Some nights your body stops before your brain does. This is the simple bedtime routine I actually use to get to sleep fast and it works.
