i miss the inconveniences of life.

Morning page snippet: I miss the little inconveniences of life.
The things that when you look back, made a greater impact than you could've imagined.

I miss not having a phone, I miss not owning a watch, I miss passing letters in class to a girl,
just to get denied on the spot.
I miss school, I miss my 9-5, I miss cable television with my family staying up late during weeknights.
I miss the things that brought us closer, and I even miss the things that used to tear us apart.
I miss the challenges of growing together, and hurting when we were apart.

As life got more convenient, we've grown so accustomed to a culture of speed, the path of least resistance.
well can i resist this?
start a resistance?
walk backward back in time, back to when we put up a hell of a good fight, back to sneaking out at 2am to see you in the night, back to biking through the neighborhood, back to roadtrips with the fam, back to getting dropped off everywhere i wanted to go, back to only holding hands, back to dog day summers with brain cells fried, back to running in the rain, back to acting too tough to hold in a cry, back to hiding all the pain.

i miss the little inconveniences, i miss all the trouble.
i miss how much it hurt to grow.
