More is always better
I didn't expect to see him here, Outside smoking. I'm rocking a nicotine patch. I was joking, I mean I did quit but who feels like joking now? I saw his scowl and raised him a furrowed brow. I hope he remembers how we used to read Shakespeare and we barely understood it but it gave us a voice or a language. I don't read anymore but if I did We would be reading it tonight for sure. I keep thinking about how the timing feels false. Some days are faster than my fucking pulse and others go so slow like this morning felt like a month ago. There was a time when I thought that we were going to always be together. It was the three of us against the world. We were happy. I am having a hard time letting that go.

However, as there are some definite mindsets around the concept of laziness, I thought I would add my thoughts on it.

My Surprise. Top Story - October 2023.
I was fourteen that summer, and it had been five years since I had last seen him. Meeting with him again had not been my idea, but my grandmother's. She had planned it as her little "surprise." But it hadn't seemed like such a good one at the time. In fact, the whole scenario had struck me with such discord, that even now, some fifty years later, I care very little for surprises. They are to me, just neatly wrapped packages of deceit bestowed upon the unwilling. They are the gift bearer's way of manipulating or controlling the receiver. In short, I do not trust surprises!

The Thorne Twins
Last century when things were different, yet the same two sisters graced high school hallways unnoticed, they were honest and sociable supporting events while conversing pleasantly with their peers. Attending University, they dined while developing similar study habits. Upon receiving higher education academic tassels, their parents cheered and never once did fellow classmates drop any emotional guards.
