Idle

Today’s perception

To wait is to suffer.

To exist in stagnancy is an act of misery.

I write in hopes to uncover the reason behind this state. This sensation of impatience makes no sense to me.

Nothing is pending.

I have absolutely no reason to be so on-edge.

Perhaps my brain is sending my body these feelings for inspiration to finally leave my comfortable bed.
