I actually slept in past 10AM today. In a normal day, I would usually be up and about by 8AM, with cup of coffee and daily journal in hand.
But there was something very soothing in today’s morning sleep. It felt like I had some interruptions in sleep, I do remember getting up to go pee every now and then. And yet, my sleep was good. There was a good sense of rest and relaxation, and it felt like the world was wrapping me up in dreams and just the softness of the bed.
After waking, I remained in a horizontal position for awhile more, and decided to finish up the book that I was reading. Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett, as part of the Discworld Series. It was nice to finish a book, a thoroughly funny and nonsensical one, within a realm of fantasy that understood its place in modern times.
It always leads me to ask myself. If I started writing a book today, what would I write on? What interests me the most to start writing about it, or what do I feel creatively about to have a story written? I think having themed words are fun for many people to get started, but sometimes the simplicity of daily life is sometimes enough for me to think about life too.
I like Haruki Murakami for his slice of life that’s somewhat spooky. I enjoy that twist. I also like the straightforwardness of some academic writing, or the self help books. Perhaps that’s the right direction that I should take. Self help for the idealist in modern times.
In any case, it’s early, and I’m sleepy already, so goodnight world.
