Anxiety Addict's Bedtime Stories
To: The Restless, The Insomniacs, The Stressed-out, The Overworked, The Doom-Scrollers, The Worried and The Bored: THIS IS FOR YOU Good writing is meant to make you think. This is the opposite. Short, funny, (unfortunately true) stories that have mostly to do with Nothing, to help you turn off your brain and turn on your REM. Because you're looking at your phone anyway.
