Milomi's world

This is something that pretty much all of us must have been through, at some point in time. There are times when our eyes droop down low and we do our best to stifle our yawns. When we are drained out, yet we force ourselves to stay awake. And miraculously, we do.

The longer we stay awake, random thoughts seem to drift in and out of our conscience. Startling us, for we’d never imagined that that thought would cross our minds. However, when we try to sleep, which we’ve been wanting to do, we simply can’t. We feel that there is something that we haven’t done. That restlessness troubles us.

It is an odd feeling to have, but consciously or unconsciously, it just occurs. When the world around you is revolving, but you seem to stand still. Frozen in time.

That is the time when we enter our own world. Which is miles and miles away from everyone else’s. Which is ours, but seems to be about everyone and everything else. And it is disconcerting. We exit from a common world to enter another.

These restless thoughts, will keep on pestering you. Till you answer. We usually try to discard the thought. To push it away, hoping to never cross it again. Somehow, that never works. Or we try to console our mind with a lie. Trying to twist the realities. To something we want to believe rather than what it really is. But as usual it comes back.

So why don’t we try to drive the truth inside our minds? It is our mind after all. Ours to keep. Ours to control. Even though it might be hard to accept, it is the truth. Truth stands strong against those restless thoughts. Truth pushes them down. Those thoughts will spring up now and then. It will hurt. I’m not saying it won’t.

But in the end, it is worth it. Forever. No more sleepless nights filled with restless thoughts. Not anymore.
