That moment when you close your eyes, ready to sleep all the tiredness and frustrations out. But the thing is, you don't realize that your eyebrows are already furrowed,
and countless of thoughts are swirling around your head.

Its like, automatic. You are oblivious to the fact that once you close your eyes, your eyebrows will furrow instantly, and unconsciously, your mind will jump from one thought to another.
You become unaware of the time, realizing that its an hour or two later.
Your eyes are closed, but your mind is still fully awake.

Sometimes, I wonder if I have insomnia, but no I don't have that. I just have trouble in sleeping easily and quickly. God knows how many times I tried to straighten and smoothen my eyebrows, trying to block out all the thoughts that'll follow. But I realized that once I'll do that, time will consume me, and the next thing I know my mind's still jumping from one thought to the other. When morning comes, eyebags are evident under my eyes. The struggle is real, but I got used to it.

Its like a cycle to me.
