“If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he'd make a fortune."

The author of this quote is unfortunately unknown. This quote really applies to me. For starters, I am an insomniac. Runs in the family. I got it from my mother. The word insomnia means “the inability
to sleep” for those of you who don’t know. I think that I have it the second
worst in my family. My uncle has it the worst.

Anyway it’s always really hard for me to fall asleep. I think a lot during the day but it’s usually school
related thinking. When I try sleeping my mind just wonders. I am literally in
my own world. I start thinking about anything. What do I have to do tomorrow,
when can I get together with friends, what songs do I like, what will my future
be like, what will I do in the future, where will my friends, family, and I be
in the future, etc. Sometimes I come up with good ideas for something I’m
working on; whether it be for preformance or an essay or homework. If I thought
like this during the day, I think I would have a lot more ideas to share. And
that’s never a bad thing as long as it is somewhat related to what my class is
doing. But even if its not, I don’t have to share it in class. It could be with
a friend or someone else. Basically if I had this many ideas during the day, I
could discuss things more than I do right now. I consider myself a little too
quiet at times. Being quiet is alright at times but too quiet, not so much. I
think this because all my ideas/emotions just get bunched up inside sometimes
and one of those ideas could be great and emotions shouldn’t be locked up. You
were given the ability to feel emotion to express, not to keep to yourself;
ideas were meant to be shared, otherwise only you could use the idea. You could
agree or disagree with this but just ask yourself these questions while
deciding; Why feel anything if you can’t share it? Would you rather have one
person (you) use an your idea or would you rather have many people using the idea?
