Restlessness - Tumblr Posts

11 years ago

I have this thing for taking late-night walks around campus (usually on weekends). I can't rest with a bunch of energy coursing through me, so going out for a walk helps me calm down and get to sleep. I've done this so much now that I know almost every inch of the campus.

I even did this back in my high school (which was a boarding school for gifties). Unfortunately my walk was limited to within the dorm, so I didn't have much to do except wander empty hallways hoping I didn't wake anyone.

Even so, I do it partly out of restlessness and partly for some reason I haven't quite figured out. I wouldn't keep going back out if I knew the lay of the land already... but it's like I'm searching for something.

Although I have no clue what I'm looking for.

What else is there to search for if I know what's out there? To find other people? They're all asleep. To make absolutely sure I know the area? I can draw a detailed map, no problem. Is it just pure curiosity? ...that's the only thing I can come up with.

So I keep going out there, trying to find the answer to an unknown question. I'm not insane, I promise
