its 4 am and i should be asleep.

but im not.
i dont really want to sleep even though i am tired.

i am thinking.

and you know...i think its not really about someone commenting on what you do or what you have to say, its just them listening - not interrupting to tell you a story about them or acting like they dont care, but just being there to listen to you.
this is nice.
this is needed.

today is my birthday - not that it matters, one year older one year wis.....er...wait a minute.

there is more i want to say, more i want to convery, but the oversweling desire for sleep is creeping up on me and i must surrender.
