I'll just lay here and try to think of nothing. But that's impossible, isn't it? If I realize I'm thinking of nothing, I thinking. Right? So I should probably think of something. Maybe if I just focus on my breathing.
No, that won't work. You try that every night.
Yea, but it's bound to work one of these nights. I have to get up early, I can't waste this time laying here. I need to fall asleep.
But if you focus too hard on falling asleep, you won't succeed. Try thinking about something specific, like how tomorrow will be a long day.
How do you know that? Wait. Who am I talking to? That's right. I'm laying in bed. Trying to sleep. Just clear your mind.
Yea, like that. No. You're thinking. This is thinking. Stop it.
I wonder if my car is going to get broken into one of these nights and if my car alarm will go off? Why does my alarm sometimes go off when I try to start the car? Would I be woken up if that happened? Would it sound like my alarm? I set that, right? What day is tomorrow? oh, right. I wonder what my mom would say about these sleeping habits. Probably "You should go to bed earlier." I should go home more often. I wonder how my sister is. She got a new tattoo last I saw her. It was colorful. Most of her tattoos are just black. Like that one with the three ships just under her collarbone. Are they supposed to be the pinta, the nina and the.... the.... um... what was it's name..?
Wait, what was what's name? What was I thinking about? alright... retrace... retrace... I was thinking about my Car before... Car... alarm...sleeping...home... OH, the Santa Maria, that's what I was trying to think of. yea. That tattoo. that's right.
Hold on, where am I? Oh, right, I'm in bed. trying to sleep. Why can't I sleep? I was almost asleep a moment ago, wasn't I? Or was I just lost in thought? Wait, maybe there is no difference when you're trying to fall asleep.
Maybe I just need to get my thoughts less intergrated again. Let's see.... car... alarm.... mom.... sister.... tattoo.... boats.... thanksgiving is soon. I can't wait to go to Boston. I wonder how the weather will be. It's been cold here recently, but only snowed one day so far. I like the winter. It's soothing for some reason...
I like the winter... ...I can't wait to go to boston...
I wonder.....
