A moment of bliss

I'm laying here in the dark, supposed to be asleep. The air cold against my bare skin, the pillow bugging me with its uncomfortablilty, the house nearly silent. Each time I move the sound is all I hear, my breath louder then the cars outside, my skin begging to be scratched where a bug bite lies on my leg, but my mind is silent.
It's 11:11pm, 1/16/22, a Sunday
It's weird. Werid to have such peace in my mind, but it's a blessing. Why isn't my head full of thoughts as usual? I have no clue... All I feel is....calm.  It's relaxing. Reassuring. Weird. I wish I had the feeling more often though, it's so nice to have a break, no matter how short.
Is this what normal people have? Is this why people drink or do drugs? For this momentarily bliss of silence and just calmness?
I take a deep breath, breathing is the cool air, making my body even calmer. I wish I could bottle up this feeling like I do with so many others. I want to keep it safe and sound among my collection, opening it when I need this calmness. But no. I can't do that. It's to easy.
Oh no my thoughts are starting up again, killing the calmness I once felt. I guess the break was short.
