You know how sometimes someone makes a jellybean of a comment and at the time, you just go along with it, and maybe it even seems a little bit funny at the time, so you laugh and you brush it off, oh look NEXT TOPIC, jump on that train! and you chug along as the conversation goes on, but at the end of the day, after the laughter dies down and you're walking home in the dark of the night and the quiet slowly gets to you,
you replay the conversation in your head, smiling like a goofball at yourself and then suddenly something clicks and your brain goes, HEY, WAITTAMINUTE, that can't be right! Rewind, replay. Frown lines start to form. WAAAAAITTAMINUTE and in your head sirens are going off, I RESENT THAT!!
yeah well, too little too late.
And the more you think about it the more it gets to you and the more annoyed you get. And you're home scratching your head and being all frustrated and you want to - well you don't know what you want to do but you're just NOT happy. And you're rewinding and replaying and thinking of all sorts of things you could have said in retort,
its like HAH! JAB. YES, YOU TAKE THAT.
oh golly, im so witty someone give me a prize!
oh golly, im so witty someone give me a prize!
Only its all in your head so you're still not satisfied and you just want to - well you still dont know what you want to do but again, still NOT happy. so you hit the pause button and you store that memory in the chest where you keep all the other PAUSED memories, you label it, UNFINISHED BUSINESS, and you lock it away. and then suddenly you're feeling much much better.
See, all you have to do is not THINK about it.
Stop rewinding, stop replaying.
Stop rewinding, stop replaying.
And then at that moment, you just don't care. But still, in the quietest of nights, perhaps the brain elves get up to their little tricks again and they hit that play button and you're just like GYAAARR!!! (lack of proper word to use in the situation) and perhaps because its been pent up there for so long, IGNORED, PAUSED, but STILL there, it comes back two fold and you just want to - well, i dont think we'll ever figure out what we want to do at these moments but you're just NOT happy.
but its been ages and you should let it go by now.
problem is, how do you do that?

Pause.
