racing to disconnect
I often see myself in the same exact situation,
Someone speaks to me, and my mind just starts RACING.
I want it to end already.
I start to predict the possibilities, attempting to cut them off and answer them early. Finish off their sentence, I can complete it quicker than they can.
Anything just to make this end already.
There is one exception, though; When she speaks to me I silently wait. Wait for her magical thoughts to be released, wait for the explosions of feelings that flutter from her lips.
I can finally sit down and relax, and just listen.
