1. Housebreaking

Publicado por Alba |

She was told she was in serious need of some housebreaking. In her mind, that could only mean one thing. She calmly accepted the fact and resolved to fly the nest before the mental breakdown catched up with her. Some people are able to see the bigger picture, be patient enough to sit around and wait for their moment. Others don't have the nerve, nor the time. Their moment is now. No-day-but-todayers have that prerrogative.

There is no ruling the true individual. No possible training, no acceptable modelling. Though she wouldn't know about indivualism. When you can't conceive there being anything else than what you know to be, the quality as a concept does not compute. Consequently, there is no such thing as an opposite.

Not that she was thinking at this point as much as feeling what she needed to do. Before she had time to wonder if that made her a packing robot, she found a full bag she did not remember packing smashed in deepest at the back of her closet. She shrugged to helself as she pulled out what was about to become all her worldly possessions.

As she crossed the threshold she didn't even make the instinctive move to get the keys from the key holder. The significance of this moment was missed. Not realizing it was the best thing she ever did, she let her legs carry her away.

Sometimes the only sensible thing to do is overreact.
