I had a feeling

I sometimes feel _________

Yeah. Fill in the blank.

It’s what we do.

Tonight I’ve penciled in ‘alive’

Suppose you need to fill that blank every 15 minutes of your day. Of course you already do. Just not consciously. But I’m talking about consciously filling it in. What’s it gonna be?

Happy? Sad? Confused? Mad? Alone? Blue? Ecstatic? Weary?

All of the above, yet more, you say. “That list is incomplete.”

I penciled in ‘alive’. I might wish for more but may settle for less.
