Hatched

It's Easter. I had a holiday.

It is quite apparent that the holiday has planted deep in me my insomnia nature to be a part of my habit. I barely slept during the one-week holiday. As usually I yawn when it's close to midnight, I didn't at all. My eyes were completely wide-opened. I didn't feel growing languid; instead I felt like I was still on my peak. Even the darkness didn't make me feel sleepy. In the end, I went to bed not because I wanted to, but because I had to. Probably I would be kicked out of the house if I kept on making the noises while everyone's asleep.

While I did not sleep, I tried to list down what or not to do if you can't sleep. Thus follows:
01. Try to sleep.
02. At least close your eyes for a while. You may or may not end up sleeping.
03. Do not keep the lamps on. May bother the others.
04. Delve the darkness and the shadows. Hallucinations of terrifying stuffs are inevitable however.
05. Listen to some music. Calming, tranquil, soft and slow songs suggested. Heavy rock songs not suggested. And never forget to USE your earphones.
06. Study. I guarantee you will fall asleep no later than five minutes.

But it's Easter. It is not your time to complain over things. It's time to be grateful.


I came across my playlist. Reciting some words from the song 'Galaxies' by Owl City. A perfect example to be grateful over Easter.

Dear God, I was terribly lost / When the galaxies cross and the sun went dark /
Dear God you're the only North Star / I would follow this far

Oh Telescope, keep your eye on my only Hope / Lest I blink and be swept off the narrow road /
Hercules, you got nothing to save me / 'Cause you're not the blinding light that I need /
For He is the saving grace of the Galaxies

Well, it is what Easter means. The Savior has risen, so we shall be thankful for Him and be grateful since we have been saved. Even the eggs for me have some sort of meaning.

The eggs are shells. Shells of sin, death. For He has risen, the egg of death has been hatched. For He sacrificed Himself to save us from our sins, the shell of sins has been broken. We, the dust He formed, are all saved, and shall we thank Him for that. We may not be able to get rid of sins for the whole of our life, but since we have been given a chance of renewal, should we keep it low down. That is Easter to me. And I am trying to do so.


Test week ahead. Must study.
