Quotes of Significance

  I guess what I am meaning with this quote is that my brain tends to need to be exhausted before I sleep. Often times I go to bed at around 02:30 and fall straight to sleep, no thought process at all, just gone. My mind rarely settles until it stops functioning [caption id="attachment_2239" align="alignright" width="1004"] This, to me, applies to friends.
