Sometimes when I'm not doing anything, my mind starts to wonder a lot and I go into a deep state of thinking. Most of the time when this happens I'm listening to music or sticking my head out the car window.

I can’t listen to music right now and I’m not in a car.

I feel kinda alone even though there are people with me. I want to talk to them, but it's probably best if I just keep my mouth shut. But I can freely talk in my head and say, do, and be anything I want in my mind. I like it mostly because I have control over what goes on. For instance, I can wake up whenever I want, I can travel anywhere in the world, I can eat any type of food I please at any time of the day. I can make old friends reappear and find new friends at every corner. I can dunk on the moon and ride the waves with my grandma.

I wonder why I can’t do these things right now.

I heard that most riches found on earth are in the graveyard. It is where most people had dreams and visions that could change the word but were to afraid of what might happen. Not afraid that they would fail but afraid that that they are powerful beyond measure. I watched this movie called Bird Box, about a plague that swept through the world. If you encounter the plague, then you would see your deepest fear and be in so much pain you would commit suicide. The thing with fear is that you create it, therefore you can destroy it. So next time you are scared to do something, just remember you have the inner strength to make it go away.

I’ve been rambling for too long, so I'm going to wrap this thing up by saying don’t miss out on stuff even though you're very tired. Especially if you got work, school, or have important things to do at the moment. You cannot escape responsibilities so you might as well face them and give it 110% every day. Manage your time wisely if you're going on long trips and returning to the grind the next day and stay out of trouble because jail is boring.
