Midnight Letters Prompt #18: Thoughts that keep me awake

What keeps me awake? I could say so many things, but I would say it's my thoughts, my ideas, that feeling of being stuck in the daily routine, working, paying bills, eating, sleeping, and going back to work again. Every night we have to fight against those thoughts that, instead of helping us, discourage us and sometimes cause us to feel down, which we have to fight against. We are all waiting for that call we cling to, whether it's for work or love, that answer to our prayers and the thought of what would happen if we received it right now. That feeling of excitement won't leave us alone.

Even that question comes to mind, and it's the one I find hardest to answer: what am I doing in this world? Is it true that we all have a purpose, and what is mine? Am I on the right path, and will everything I'm doing be worthwhile? These are the things that keep me awake until almost dawn. The worst part is that I don't understand why these thoughts only come at night, and during the day everything is calm, as if none of these thoughts had existed the night before.
