标题：Drifting Thoughts at Night

As I lay in bed at night, my mind often drifts away, filled with various thoughts and memories. Sometimes I find myself lost in daydreams, imagining what my life would be like if I had different choices or experiences. Other times, I find myself lost in my own thoughts, reflecting on the past or future, or contemplating life"s deeper meanings. Although these moments can be both relaxing and invigorating, they also remind me of the importance of being present and appreciating every moment of life. I try to savor each moment, whether it"s filled with joy or sadness, because it"s these moments that make up my life and help me grow as a person.
