Lauren, Lately

A little unfiltered, always unfolding

Sleepless

I don’t want to close my eyes
Because I know you’ll be there

You’ll come into my thoughts
A place you never seem to leave

I don’t want to sleep
Because I know it’s a just a dream

I’ll wake up the next morning
Only to find it wasn’t real

I lay in bed awake at night
I wonder if you do too

I’ve wished on every star in the sky
Trying to put me in your mind

Can you feel me thinking of you?
I pretend I feel you too

Hi,

I’m Lauren

Thirty-something, raising two kids and attempting to make sense of life in real time. This is where I write about love, motherhood, style, travel, starting over, and the questionable decisions that make good stories later. I’m not convinced everything happens for a reason, but I do think most things are worth writing about.

Elsewhere, lately

Stay awhile.

New stories, questionable decisions, unsolicited observations, and whatever else is happening lately.
