For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some 'organic element' since I couldn't accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.

It's necessary to clean out all the lactic acid buildup from thinking.

Ive suffered insomnia. It's wild how after long enough you stop developing short term memory. Which; when experienced, translates to; it's 10am. You just got done cleaning the garage cuz...cuz. You're drinking coffee watching clips from the today show on yr phone. You look up. It's 9pm and dark outside. You're sitting on the couch. You felt no time pass in between. You ask yr wife about dinner with her grandparents that you were supposed to go to. Oh. You did go. And you drove (wait....WHAT). Apparently you were as charming as ever. No memories of it.

It's like someone else is living your life.

That's when I went to the Dr. for sleep meds. I trust myself to be myself... but naw fam, life's too short. I never blanked out work so fuck that
