I don’t know who needs to hear this but rest is not a reward. You don’t have to earn rest. You need rest. You deserve rest. You are worthy of rest simply because you are a living being. And don’t ever feel guilty for taking time to rest.

We gave morning people too much power. Now look at us, waking up between 5-7am for work, school, or whatever, and the only people thriving are morning people. Mid-day and Night owls deserve justice!!
