Break Time (DP#156)

—

I would like to take a break from my impatience.
That way, I could enjoy the time I was given to the utmost degree, without constantly feeling rushed through life. My instinct to hurry through circumstances, holidays, experiences, even happy moments, has stolen so many small memories that I could have been cherishing. The blind optimism and pride it takes to assume the next leg of the journey would be any easier or more enjoyable is naive.

I would like to take a break from my anger.
Feeling the heat rush to my head and heart, venting out my mouth through sharp words and hot tempers. The pain I feel from the heat inside, is nothing compared to the pain my words and actions inflict on those around me. And even then, the guilt that is left in anger’s wake, is incomparable at times.

I feel at the mercy of these emotions way too often in daily life, that I would be curious to enjoy a time without them hanging around for once.

    I might be reading this wrong, but don’t feel pegged. You should be revelling at this time in your life and not be restricted. You have everything in front of you and can do anything. You are so young and intelligent. The longer you leave it the worse you will feel.

      Thank you. I am just so ready to be out and about which is where the impatience is coming from. Its like I feel freer than I have in years but now we have to wait. That is the frustrating part for sure.

        Well, there’s no rush, but I can understand your impatience and anticipation. I hope you can look at it more with a sunny and ‘glass is half full’ disposition. If not, then get your hubbie to slap you out of it. lol Like that other scene below in ‘Airplane’ where they line up to take to the hysterical woman:

        I hope you get to see the whole movie. It’s a real riot and probably my favourite ever comedy, I reckon.
        I hope Kolton’s gloves are kid-friendly lol

● About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
