Nights are things of mystery and adventure. Although I would like them to be a time when I can actually sleep - just saying, sleep sounds really good and I wouldn't be mad if it decided to pay me a visit. But sometimes you don't need or want sleep as desperately as others, sometimes you just want to stay up and watch the night sky. Forever getting lost in the mesmerizing stars, the stunning moon and all the possibilities that are as visible when the sun's out.
The nighttime is a thing of chance, anything can happen.
Tonight feels like one of those nights yet I also get the feeling that not much will be happening. Seeing as I have already spent the last couple hours filling with Awkward. (TV show), I get the lurking sensation that is about all my night will amount too. Yes, I'm not sleepy - yet. Yes, I am open to something (anything really) happening to make my night even a little more interesting but when considering my options, the limitations are loud and clear. My one roomie, the girl, is visiting her parents and won't be back until tomorrow sometime and my other roomie, her boyfriend, just got home from work and even though I consider us to be friends - we don't have the ultimate friendship with the option of midnight chats. My only other friend, that lives in Ottawa with me, is currently at work and isn't off until sometime after 3am so our delightful and always entertaining conversations are currently on pause and might not resume until late tomorrow morning. I also happen to have done a crap load of walking around today (honestly more than I usually do in a week) so I'm playing the lazy card and not going out for a walk. Not to mention, I am not all that familiar with my neighborhood yet so I really don't want to be kidnapped and possibly murdered just because I got a little bored. Obviously my love of horror and scary movies/television shows has ruined my life and somehow fulfilled it at the same time. Those are my options, or lack thereof really and if you are really smart, you'll have realized that's when I decided to write this post. I am filling the void, for about ten minutes or so.
Magical isn't it?
The power of adventure, it can take you anywhere and anywhere can be portrayed in a thousand different ways - including simply staying within the confines of your mind.
I mean sure, sometimes depending on the adventure, it's better when you experience it in reality and not just with the use of imagination but that doesn't mean you can't have a good time without having to go somewhere. You're mind can do wonderful things and will not be properly appreciated until used to the brink and then some. It comes in handy, especially on sleepless nights. Whether it's because you willing decided to forgo sleep and live a night of wonder or you just can't get your eyes to stay closed long enough for your dreams to take over - the use of imagination fills the gap and gives you hope.
The adventure of a lifetime, one thought at a time.
Sincerely,
The Girl Who Loves Her Pillow
