hey.

youre okay.

tears bounding down my cheeks —

im not sad,

just tired.

so tired.

drained, actually —

and my head is pounding.

well, drink more water.

well, drink any water ever.

nausea stirring at the base of my throat

and in the pit of my stomach.

why am i nervous?

what has me in knots?

youre okay.

david is fine.

victoria is fine.

everyone is tired tonight.

keep breathing

and the nausea will pass.

settle down

breathe

calm down

sleep will help
