Life & Wisdom Quote by Kim Elizabeth

Insomnia turns into a studio here, and Kim Elizabeth treats it less like a malfunction than a portal. The opening move, "It is normal for me", deliberately domesticates the uncanny. She frames nocturnal writing not as a quirky habit but as a baseline state, implying a life organized around compulsion rather than choice. That normalization is the first tell: whatever drives the work is bigger than routine; its persistence has rewritten what "normal" means.

The phrasing toggles between the mundane and the gothic. Writing "in the dark" is literal, but it also reads as a method: composing without the disinfecting glare of daytime certainty. Then comes the startling self-mythology of being "out of my tomb". Tomb suggests burial, stasis, a prior self entombed by daylight roles or emotional suppression. Waking becomes resurrection, but not heroic. She is "caught" - not liberated - in an "unearthly world", where the imagination is less refuge than weather system.

"Alive with the images that haunt me" is the quiet thesis. Haunting implies unwanted visitation, recurring material the mind refuses to file away. Yet "alive with" grants those images vitality, even agency, as if the writer is the medium and the page the seance. The subtext is a bargain many writers recognize but rarely admit so plainly: the work originates in disturbance. The intent isn't to romanticize suffering so much as to confess the cost of access - creativity as a kind of nightly exhumation, where what returns is both the reason to write and the thing that keeps you from sleeping.
