11. Wobbly table

Life is like a coffee shop menu

When I was young we had coffee, with or without milk, and we had milky coffee, with or without a bit of froth. Now look, same stuff, different name, but far better than what we had way back then. Life, is still the same, just better coffee.

I’m not really sure what I actually mean by the above observation TBH but if kind of feels like the same old shit keeps on going around and around, we get older but it’s all the same. In some ways, it feels like we haven’t really got any older, just changed a few things, how we think, how we react, how we speak. We’re just like that table, people still come, chat, cry, drink coffee and the table is still a table. The coffee is a bit different, the table’s a bit wobbly now, but life goes on.

I guess I feel a bit wobbly at times (about my plans), must be my age.
