When the World's Asleep

Writer's picture: alyssadenae1alyssadenae1

Last night and the night before that, my brain's kept my aching mind awake way longer than it needed to be. I spent over two and a half hours trying to fall asleep until it finally happened around 3:30-3:40am last night. As I am writing this, I am still exhausted because in the time I slept, my mind never had the chance to rest. Which leads to this question: is there a difference between the brain and mind? I mean that's how I've been describing all of this. But if there's a difference, what is it? Could it be that my thoughts are my mind, and what I'm programmed to think and do is my brain? For those who read this, please comment what you think about this! Anyways, I have always loved the night. That fact that world's asleep and that's the only time I have peace. Except, now I've lost the peace that I used to cherish like a rare hug of life. It's ironic, the void of life is what brought me back to it.

Also, on a completely different note, when I try and start projects like this, I generally only stick with it for two weeks, but I hope I push myself to keep this going. That's all for now <3


Until next time,

A hopeless/ful stranger

i also think there’s a separation between the two:) except i think the mind is split between the conscious and subconscious mind. our brain does all of our functions and keeps us alive without us even realizing. then we have the subconscious mind where all of our true desires lie !!! then our conscious mind is what we tell ourselves we want.
