That moment

You know that moment before getting into bed where your body is saying, "Ok, enough, let's sleep!" Where your mind has turned to mush and yet you can't stop thinking about half a billion things, or maybe just one teeny tiny thing like what could I possibly wear tomorrow. It's the moment where you just got home and grabbed a bowl of cereal, where you begin to reflect back on your day and start to think of what tomorrow brings. The moment where you pull out your scriptures, say your prayers, finish a chapter from the new novel you're reading, and then you realize...you're not tired at all. You can't stop thinking about what so-and-so said earlier, or what they did. Every gesture towards you gets analyzed, every stress is brought back into your mind, and everything that you must do or not do suddenly leaps into the forepart of your brain and gosh darn it! What's the point of even lying here anymore?!

You know that moment? Well I'm there.
