horses only lie down to sleep when they feel completely safe.
not cautious. not almost safe. safe.
they can go years without deep rest if the environment never earns their trust. when they finally do lie down — it means something.
you know what that feels like.
the waiting. the hypervigilance. the years of staying ready just in case.
and you know what it feels like when it finally lifts.
waited until it was safe to lie down.
wear your reminder daily.
