The Naps That Changed Everything

A year ago, I started having these naps that aren't really like anything else. They're triggered by certain childhood memories—moments with my grandmother or the way it felt to be tucked into bed when sick. Once I slip into one of these dreams, there's a shift in my headspace; everything slows down and softens. I feel like time stretches out, and instead of worrying about bills or deadlines, I just want snuggles and stories. After waking up, even if it was only for an hour, I find myself craving more—more warmth, more cuddles, and the idea that someone is always there for me no matter what. It's comforting in a way that nothing else has been lately.
