falling asleep

23 hours and 25 minutes left… When it is difficult to fall asleep, we start counting as well. How many dreams did you have in some other language than your mother-tongue one? How many times did you feel longing for some other identity/country/language/smell/season/culture? How many times were you looking for the right words to express longing/restlessness/desire to move on? How many times did you feel at ease with where you are?

i am never at easy, think the life would be too boring if you would settle down. falling asleep could be also a day ritual of freeing yourself from all the thoughts you had that day, everything you saw, experienced, smelled. so, how many times we were falling asleep easily, without "working hard"?

being in another country is being a foreigner. can't deny a fact that i come from somewhere else, even if i am interacting with everything that surrounds me.
