I've Been Here Before

Ever look at a morn­ing and think, “I’ve been here before. I was here in the sum­mers of my youth, when the leaves were still lush­ly green, in the cool, dew-dropped morn­ings before the sun rose above the trees. I was here dur­ing the first morn­ings of school, walk­ing to the bus stop through gen­tle sub­ur­ban neigh­bour­hoods, with their well-man­i­cured lawns and their inter­lock­ing bricks. I was here before the Sunday rides into town, for big break­fasts and milk tea. I was here in anoth­er life, and all I’d like is to one day do it all over again.”

Don't Interrupt Me

I hate being inter­rupt­ed. When I’m talk­ing about some­thing, I get into a momen­tum, and inter­rup­tions lose all the momen­tum. It does­n’t mat­ter what I’m talk­ing about or how comfortable/uncomfortable I am talk­ing about it. To me, it’s like try­ing to tell a joke then being told to wait five min­utes right before the punch­line. Although some­one may remem­ber the first part, the momen­tum just dies, and I’d rather just for­get the whole thing than fin­ish talk­ing.
