ever had a memory safely encapsulated in your hippocampus that you can relive as many times as you want? happens to me every-time i see a bed. i hadn’t been sleeping for some months. & i was frustrated. i did the worst thing you can do when you have insomnia, fight your way to sleep. laid on my back, on my side, with pillow without a pillow, & on this particular night my bed was mocking me. so i laid on the carpet & gave up fighting to fall asleep. that Tuesday i probably fell asleep around 6am i missed an economics final. & after seeing the closed door of my lecture hall, i walked back and smiled and thought of how great that carpet had felt.
