about icantsleep

this is a quiet corner of the internet for the restless, the weary, and the ones who find themselves awake when the world is silent.

it started as a way to let go of thoughts that keep us up. sometimes, writing them down is the only way to make room for sleep.

everything here is anonymous. everything is curated with care. it’s a shared space for human emotion, in all its heavy and light forms.

by sharing, we realize we aren't alone in the dark.

rest well.
