this morning #2098.

this morning, i didn’t yet know why but i knew that i needed to try to keep my mind as blank as possible. leave some space for my own sanity. not think. not one bit. didn’t think that it’d be too big of a deal but then people started asking me for answers. had no choice but to fire up the ol’ mind & try to provide them with some. think critically. think quick. either respond or risk appearing arrogant. it was much easier to reply than try to explain why my brain needed a break today. after i’d solved a few of their issues, i excused myself. went down the hall to the restroom & locked myself in a stall. all alone on the toilet, i shut my eyes. shut my mind off again. sweet restroom relief. a full three minutes of peace.
