Or worse, not everything has a solution.

I'm reminded of a line I heard once, that there are about 4,000 weeks in a long life, and at some point you realize that you're already well past the halfway mark.

At least I am.

And that kind of thought, that will stick with me for a lot longer.

It terrifies me more, and it changes the way I think more than anything I'll see in a slasher movie.

At least that's for me.

And I bet Marcus DeManda could write the stuff out of a story like that.

These days, I'm a full-time voice actor.

Which means on any given day, I might be recording something like this for no sleep.

Or helping train a surgeon on a new technique.

Or walking someone through how to fuel a supertanker.

And I mean it, that's not an exaggeration.

That's just Tuesday for a voice actor.

And somewhere along the way, I found my way to the No Sleep Podcast.

At the time, going back a few years, I was learning audio production and experimenting with storytelling, and I actually produced a full audio version of a story from the No Sleep subreddit.

And then I sent it in, completely unprompted to David.

And very appropriately, it was rejected.

I kind of wish I still had it.

It might be a fun listen.

But more likely, I'm really glad I don't have it anymore.
