down to earth

I used to prioritize sleep over writing down ideas if I had some come to me when i was too tired to write

Id think well if it’s really important or special it will naturally pop back in my thoughts again

And yes sometimes that is the case naturally

But. Nowadays I knowi May forget or I’ll get distracted by something else . i don’t want to risk losing ideas or my thoughts on certain things. Because I’ve done so before and the pain of knowing I’ll not get them back is more than a small amount of lost sleep.

(Even though sleep is what fuels your mind and thereby your original ideas ironically)
