Lost without you...

This morning, I try to force myself to be productive by packing my purse with my school notebook and notecards to study. This was actually a great idea. [Yay!]


However…I took everything out to make more room in the purse for my academic ish and forgot to put my headphones back in there!!! I didn’t realize this until I was 10 minutes from work and 20 minutes from home, you know I wasn’t turning around. Gas costs too much. 


You might say, “So what?! They’re just headphones…you’ll live.” Lord willing, I will…but these are not just electronic accessories to me. They keep me calm and collected, kind of a like a cigarette without the looming threat of cancer. They are also my shield from harsh words, ugly city sounds on the commute, and co-workers who just feel the need to stop at my desk and gossip. I feel so naked, so unprepared for life. I feel like I’m walking around with one earring or something only for everyone to talk to me but not tell me I’m missing an earring. Don’t you hate that?


I rarely forget my headphones but in event that I do, I go to my plan B. It’s not really effective but it makes me feel better that I can create my own soundtrack for the day. I beatbox and drum on everything in sight.
