Adventure
Sleeping Diary
I always carried my diary beside my bed, not for the usual reason of writing down incidents of the day, but for something far more frivolous. I entitled it "Sleeping Diary." It all started on one lazy Sunday afternoon when my mom began recounting stories of her dreams during childhood, funny sleep habits, and those half-awake moments she forgot by morning. She suggested I write down whatever I could remember the next morning as about my own dreams or sleep adventures, and thus my little project was born.

But the world...hasn't changed. In light of current U.S. and world events and the recent election it's wild how it's still relevant. I could have written this yesterday. I saved it in an email draft, and came across while cleaning out old messages.
