THE FUSE

Every day we have conversations in our minds that never take place in real life. Maybe you hear a story and think: “That happened to me too, only in a slightly different way.” Perhaps you want to offer a compliment but stop yourself, or you recognize a vulnerability or a need in yourself or others, but almost as soon as the thought comes in, it exits, never making it past your lips. There’s a whole internal world of thoughts that may never make it to the level of a spoken sentence.
