An Unsatisfactory Response
Some questions are better left off unanswered. Some questions are meant to be answered. Some answers are better given right away, others must be delayed. We may not know which type of question is which, or how we should answer, but one thing I know for certain. I should have answered that question.
I have fixed something new into my routine, and while I do not follow it religiously, or am not always able to, everytime I do follow it I am reminded why I thought about doing it in the first place. However, nothing could have prepared me for the question yesterday.
So yesterday just happened to be one of the days when I was able to make room in my schedule to follow the new routine. And so I did. One hour later, I was especially caught unawares when I was asked the question.
Why do you do this? Why do you like it so much?
And I wanted to give the answer. I really did. I had had the answer ready for two weeks already. At least, I think I did. I wanted to get it off my chest. I wanted to answer. But when I opened that accursed mouth of mine, I just couldn't. I just couldn't.
And so the answer that procceeded out from my mouth was nowhere near what I really wanted to answer.
