   It's insanely important to unwind. The how doesn't matter. For example, I just got out of a steaming-hot twenty-minute shower where I lathered, rinsed, and repeated. Before I got in, though, I put my blue tea kettle on the stove so it would it would be whistling at me by the time I got out. Once I dried off, I slipped into a white Vans t-shirt I stole from my friend and pair of clean panties. That's it. This is what I'm chillin' in.
   I typed "nature sounds" into Google and clicked on the first link that I laid eyes on; a soothing two-hour composition called Calming Music: Nature Sounds, Zen Music. Since I had a weird day and need to get some things off my heart, I'll get down on writing in my journal until I feel like I've divulged everything that needs to be said. Written? Whatever. This is my attempt to mellow out for the night. With my chamomile tea and book of clandestine tales, I'm retracting into a peaceful space. I suggest you do the same. ॐ
