Can’t figure it out.

It’s 1:15 in the morning an d everyone is fast asleep. I just can’t get to sleep. Tonight, I just can’t shake this feeling that there’s something more to life than this. Perhaps with school on hiatus for the summer I can figure it out. I haven’t been at home much, had to miss church [...]
