Here’s The Haps:
Well, it’s only been one post, so far and already I am thinking of getting away from the list of words I started out with. I don’t know, though, yet. These posts will be, of course, of varying quality but they are going to be pretty short, for me, and I hope you enjoy them.
The thing is, time is brutal. If it takes you five minutes to eat a Bavarian cream-filled donut, or five minutes to tie your shoe, or five minutes to type up a sentence that is somewhat cohesive and coherent, it’s all the same. It’s five minutes. Where the problem comes in is our perception of time. If we are blessed to have had someone give us said donut, the five minutes (I’m not trying to eat like a total barbarian, of course, which would be easy for me to do) feels like five seconds because we enjoy it so much.
One of my many issues, or problems, depending on who you talk to, is that I overthink things way too much and overexplain. I don’t do what they call “mansplaining,” which I understand to be speaking to a woman in a condescending manner as though she knows nothing, but really I overexplain many things to all kinds of people. And it’s probably the overthinking thing that sets it off.
But there is nothing like eating a Bavarian Cream filled donut and whether it takes five minutes or five seconds, the time is brutally short.
I like comments and try to respond to them all if I can:
