There are times when a schedule, particularly a collegiate one, races along, not allowing room for a pause or contemplation. The best contemplation you can spit out is done in an instant during that afternoon class, when, in a moment, you begin to stare at the chalkboard with a confused look on your face that your professor can only assume means you aren’t comprehending the material.

“Everyone getting this?..”

Then you decide to take a break after class, walk over to a food court and grab some pleasantly warm soup, and think about all of the things going on in your life that you forgot were even factors.

Those pauses from the incessant churning of technical thought are welcome and appreciated. After the soup, you feel refreshed, even despite the myriad tasks that lie, under cover, outside those glass walls.

Someone offered me some Halloween candy yesterday at an instant when I was craving some chocolate, only not in candy-form. I accepted and had some. Listen well to my advice: candy only wants candy. There is no logical possibility for you to come across one Mr. Goodbar; no, they travel in cloned packs.

Never really liked candy. It’s truly more of an addictive motion and habit than anything else. Becomes a reactive solution to a deeper issue [I want chocolate chip cookies].
