Don’t do it.

That’s not why you came. Don’t cut out on your own party. In the mess of this life, perhaps you’ve forgotten, but you came for the delicious taste of water on a hot summer afternoon. You came for the magic of a pale blue sunrise. When sleep eludes, there is still the beauty of morning.
