A Migration of the Mind 

Moving from one place to another. Going from happy to sad.

Energized to tired.

Dreary.

A migration of the mind.

Feeling confident, motivated.

Successful and ready for the world. Then you aren’t.

No longer motivated, can’t get out of bed. A migration of the mind.

Everything is good.

Working is easy, exciting even.

Nothing can stop you.

Then everything stops.

You can’t move.

You fall behind, and soon you’re drowing. A migration of the mind.

One day everything is fine.

Everything is working out.

Out of nowhere the days slow.

Fifteen hours of sleep isn’t enough. You go back to bed.

Ignoring the world.

A migration of the mind.

Staring at the ceiling, it’s six in the morning. So tired but you can’t sleep.

You find the courage to get up.

Sipping hot coffee you realize you feel okay. Today is your day.

A migration of the mind.
