Here I am, in bed again because I couldn’t find the courage to get up and walk 5 minutes to my job. I woke up an hour in advance, stared at the clock as the minute hand slowly ticked closer and closer to 8:30, only to call in sick at the last second. 

I don’t understand why this happens. I’ve tried to take steps to reason with myself, or opposite act this. Every fibre of my mental being wants to make it to work, yet here I am.. In bed again because I couldn’t find the courage to walk 5 minutes to my job.
