It’s funny how insomnia has a way of hauling faded memories up from the cellar of the mind.

Today I fell asleep reading a book. The book is called INSOMNIA. I win.

I built you a sandcastle because you’re a princess, but I tore it down because I’m a loser.

Unearthing buried bits of nostalgia from deep within and spreading the broken, jagged pieces out in front of you like a display of junk at a garage sale.
