Hello, my name is Amanda and this is my first attempt at blogging. I am open minded, curious, honest and a bit of an overanalyzer. I believe in positive thinking, good listeners, and loyalty. I adore the world of books, fashion, and the creative. I want this blog to be filled with fashion, books, and anything that inspires or amuses me. I have also challenged myself to read and review 24 books this year, so stay tuned to see how I do. I am always excited to meet new people and hear new ideas and perspectives so feel free to email me at gaspariamanda@hotmail.com!

Quote reblogged from Best Post Archive with 14,235 notes

People say, ‘I’m going to sleep now,’ as if it were nothing. But it’s really a bizarre activity. ‘For the next several hours, while the sun is gone, I’m going to become unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything I know and understand. When the sun returns, I will resume my life. If you didn’t know what sleep was, and you had only seen it in a science fiction movie, you would think it was weird and tell all your friends about the movie you’d seen. They had these people, you know? And they would walk around all day and be OK? And then, once a day, usually after dark, they would lie down on these special platforms and become unconscious. They would stop functioning almost completely, except deep in their minds they would have adventures and experiences that were completely impossible in real life. As they lay there, completely vulnerable to their enemies, their only movements were to occasionally shift from one position to another; or, if one of the ‘mind adventures’ got too real, they would sit up and scream and be glad they weren’t unconscious anymore. Then they would drink a lot of coffee. So, next time you see someone sleeping, make believe you’re in a science fiction movie. And whisper, ‘The creature is regenerating itself.
