Hey
@Angie, nice questions today. Thanks for opening the cafe. And thanks to
@cymbele for tagging me.
A goat. Truly stunning i know.
But i like that they're simultaneously herd animals, while also being fiercely headstrong and stubborn. You'd think that'd be an irreconcilable contradiction, but they somehow make it work. That's an example i take a great deal of inspiration from, that you don't need to give up on everything you want to fit in, you just need to find your people.
Two answers come to mind, but both of them i'm not sure it'd be accurate to say they ever truly fell out of favour, they just aren't as popular as they once were. One is tie-dye. I know people have certain associations with it, and some think it's very 60s/70s, but i still see a fair bit of it floating around.
The other is flannel. It's another one you still see a fair bit of, but nothing like it was in the 90s, and i feel like there's a sentiment in this country with some people that if you like flannel, you're either a Richard Hammond-style Ameriboo, or you watched too much Supernatural.
In a sense, i kinda did until very recently. My dad once really accurately described how my insomnia functioned as "It's like your body operates on 26 hour days instead of 24." And it meant i'd constantly cycle around the clock until i ended up back where i started. It meant i could never book appointments or arrange phone calls, cos i didn't know if i'd be awake at the right time. It was annoying to live with.
The last week i've actually started a major effort to finally fix my sleep pattern, so i've been waking up at 7:00AM every day, regardless of when i went to sleep, and attempting to get to bed early enough to get in 8 hours. Last night was the first night i actually succeeded in the latter goal, meaning this is starting to feel sustainable. So the absolute last thing in the world i'd want right now is to have 25 hours in my day. Although the way i've felt lately, i'm pretty certain i'd use the hour to sleep more.
