Thoughts.

Things I think about when I cannot sleep:

- Sometimes I try to imagine what buskers and panhandlers looked like as carefree children, before shame and wrinkles and pleading settled into their faces.

- Does frozen bread really go bad by the expiration date, or can it stay edible for double the amount of time?

- How much of an impact does being raised by a nanny have on a child?

- Does every generation assume that it's a watered-down version of generations past or is that just ours?

- Why do fears evolve from the tangible to the intangible over the years? What's more mentally draining -- missing the past or worrying about the future?

- Does monetary compensation make a passion less valid or less rewarding?

- Why can't I sleep???

- When you enjoy what you do as a profession, why does that make people feel like they're entitled to ask you when you'll get a "real job"?

- The only thing you have control over is quality of life, not quantity.

END random thoughts. Now to attempt to sleep.
