Vanity Card #5

By Alejandra CarrascoPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I firmly believe drinking coffee on a day off is counter productive. I'm not one to judge, I caffeinate without intention all the time. When my mind is operating at lightning speed, and what feels like full capacity, and the world slows down around me, I have the urge to tackle a huge task. The Huge Task. But on a day off there are no huge tasks. So I'm left with restlessness and frustration. Nothing needs to be accomplished. A small void widens on days like these. I could walk into city hall and tell off those no good, greedy scum to take a hike with energy like this. I'm a bite sized star waiting to illuminate galaxies in a grand explosion. With no where to direct my elevated alter ego, all I have are little things to fixate on. The more I fixate, the less perfect the world seems. Oh boy, I've had a lot of coffee. Let's wrap this up before I go down yet another rabbit hole.
