Staying Up

It's official: I have stayed up for 24 hours.

Why? Because I just couldn't stop thinking. I just had to read one book. I just had to write down lots of new thoughts about my life. So there.

I didn't exactly plan to stay up, oh no. I inteded to go to sleep, but that just didn't happen. I did brush my teeth, wash my face, wore my nightie... but too bad, my head was buzzing with excitement! So sleep didn't stand a chance.

Besides, this was the first time I've stayed up the whole night. I'm 26, about time! (I do have a vague recollection about staying up cleaning my room back in my London days in 2001, but because I'm not 100 per cent sure, I don't count it.) And what a night I had!

I discovered lots of new things about myself. Yup, I did some growing up. Some wounds were healed, some new plans were made. It was amazing.

I do know that I will be paying for it later on. I will probably fall asleep when my boyfriends comes over later on, but I don't worry about it now. I had a great time and that is all which matters right now.
