My attempts to sleep aren't going so well. I went to bed around 11:30pm after having a qutipin and woke up 2 hours later. I'm getting quite tired of this routine, maybe I will never be one of those people with a functional circadian rhythm.
When you wake up in the middle of the night, you can do one of two things -- roll around in bed and hope to fall asleep again, or do something worthwhile with your time.
I did neither.
I started watching the new Stranger Things episodes in hopes that I'd doze off (it is truly awful -- I can't believe they kept the show going so long. )
Lo and behold -- I ended up watching all 5 hours of it.... Jesus christ. Trust me to watch just about anything. I wish I did something better with my time, but now it's too late. The sun is up and there is a whole day of things to do. This final season of the show is so clearly a cash grab. You can sense the disinterest in the actors' faces. (Noah Schnapp has a particularly punchable face. I hope someone punches it.)
I recently watched this true crime video about these two brothers who ended up killing their entire family and then themselves. South asian Americans. Apparently, both brothers were depressed and felt too much pressure to keep up with familial and societal expectations of 'success'. One of the brother's shared a long suicide note explaining his thought process. Oddly enough, a lot of the note was about how he hated the last season of The Office (a full blown rant about this, by the way)
As I type this, I'm paranoid I'm going to sound like the dude that killed his family -- going on a ramble about a tv show. But then I'm reminded that a) I don't give that many fucks about Stranger Things and b) I have no plans of murdering anyone.
I have half a mind to just delete this entire note, but hey if I were tweeting this I would definitely not delete it.
