Week 13 Prompt 68

It's almost 1am, I lay in bed wide awake. I have to be up in 7 hours but I cant seem to fall asleep. I don't know if its the two cups of tea I decided to have after 6pm or the fact that I have one million thoughts running through my head. I can't shut them off. I'm thinking about classes, homework, friends, the weekend, boy troubles, friend's boy troubles and more. It's literally exhausting yet I still can't sleep. Sometimes I feel like I think too much. I over analyze situations, over think past and present situations, think of conversations in my head that I want to have with people but probably never will. All these different thoughts fill up my mind, and I think why? Why, am I wasting all this time and energy thinking about all these conversations, situations, and people? Yes, some of it is significant, but a good majority is just random thoughts and daydreams. Then it hits me, thinking like this reminds me of who I am, who I want to be; my personal and sometimes eccentric thoughts, my aspirations and dreams; what important to me. It reminds me that I have a working, intelligent brain capable of having and creating these complex and incredible notions. It reminds me that I am alive, that I am human. I think, therefore I am.

  1. There you go--that's week 13 for sure--starting with a woman unable to sleep and ending with the human consciousness in all its complexity and mystery. Works for me!
