Before Bed

I always think about everything before bed. It's almost as if my mind doesn't want for me to rest. I wonder about all of the things that go go wrong during the night. We could be robbed; the camp could burn down; or we could all be killed by a marauding group. I ponder on how this how ordeal started; was there something I could have done differently to make this not happen.

Then I wonder about what life would be if this didn't happen. I would be at home doing nothing. I would still do very little and go outside even less. Without this I would never have known what I could do. Before, I thought that all my actions were insignificant. After, I realized how much of an impact a single decision could have on the world.
