Also my brain: remember that one embarrassing thing from 8 years ago?” “I need a break… from doing nothing.” “I love plans until it’s time to actually go.” “I can’t function until I’ve had my coffee, and even then it’s questionable.” “I panic when my phone is at 1%, but won’t move to get the charger.” “I’ll just rest my eyes for a second — wakes up 2 hours later.” “Why do I always remember important things right before falling asleep?”
