It isn't often that I write 2 blog posts in one day, who know; this could be the first time I've done it, well actually it's after midnight now. I felt in the mood for talking (typing). I have alot on my mind. Can I tell you what it all is? No, Because there isn't the sense or the time.
I'm writing because I can't stop thinking about just lots of things. So many times, especially at night, I can't switch off. My mind won't be still and think of nothing. I'm rarely at peace. I was just browsing the internet, I was on one of my favourite websites www.quotegarden.com and found this quote, "Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinion at all" - G.C. Lichtenberg. I reckon this is true. The things I have no opinion on; don't care about; know I can do nothing about; they don't keep me up.
What keeps me up at night is worry or excitement. Sometimes I start thinking about how amazing something would be to do and I get so excited at the thought, I imagine full length scenarios in my head and it stops me sleeping. An example is when I was imagining a few weeks ago learning some new languages/ new skills. I enjoyed thinking about the endless possibilities so much, that I couldn't sleep. I must have spent an hour just day dreaming (even though this was night and I was trying to sleep)
Sometimes when I've had a card design in my head, I've felt to eager and excited about it all, that it stops me sleeping.
Then other times, my mind won't rest because I'm worried. I get worried and it makes me feel anxious, and a little bit ill and then I can't sleep. Money worries have made me worry. I worry about things I can't control or feel like I won't be able to control and I don't think it's doing me any good, but I can't help it. I just don't stop thinking. Alot of it is random as well. My thoughts are sequenced and sometimes I'm not thinking about anything exciting or worrying; just nonsense.
My 'cosy moments' tend to be those moments where I can shut off. My brain feels a bit lighter and quieter.
Well, this is just a lot of rambling nonsense I think, but I like nonsense. Nonsense makes me smile and calms me down. (although thinking of nonsensical things also keeps me up) I think Einstein is right, I just need to change what I think; nothing ought to do or cosyness.
