I'm So Going to Regret This...

Can't Sleep

A lot of people like to sleep with multiple pillows on their bed, or maybe stuffed animals, but not me. You see, I have a strange obsession with blankets. I sleep with three on top of me every night...I suppose I find it comforting and that's why I do it. Well, whatever the reason, I love it. I mean, seriously. Blankets feel like you're getting a hug and comfort you (which I've been needing a lot recently...) I don't care if it'll be the middle of summer, I'll still have a pile of blankets to sleep with. I guess that's another weird quirk of mine.

Anyways, the reason I'm writing at this hour is because I can't sleep. My brain has been taken over by the thoughts of a particular someone and they just simply won't go away. Question after question fills my curious mind, but yet I am left to be unanswered. I don't mind though; it let's my mind wander, which it hasn't really done it quite some time.

Another reason I am still up is because of a little thing I like to call a "book hangover". I read an entire book today, start to finish. It feels so good to read again!!! The book, though, caused me to have a lot of different feelings. At one point I was practically screaming at the main character how stupid she was being...And later on, I was fangirling SO hard about the main couple in the novel, and it made me really happy. There were some cringe moments too...So much that I had to actually put the book down until I felt like I could deal with the second-hand embarrassment from what wad happening. Quite honestly, I find it intriguing how stories can do that to us.

I also find it interesting how many people use reading as a means of escape from reality. I know for sure that I'm not the only one guilty of doing this. That's why I was reading all day today, on my first day of summer break...I was running away from my feelings, and the book just so happened to be there for me as a scapegoat. But since I've finished the book...Bad thoughts have come back to me as I lie under a peaceful pile of blankets.

Welp, that's all I really feel like sharing today, so I suppose that now would be a good time for me to go to sleep.

Goodnight, people who somehow find this blog entertaining enough to read.
