- almost feeling a wrongness in sitting alone
- an eagerness to exchange: snacks at school, school notes, thoughts in a bus, clothing, devious smiles, wrinkly messages, impromptu presents
- christmas trees without presents to and from friends
- coming home on a friday afternoon with no phone numbers on mind
- desperation regarding free time: evenings that used to make me feel so expectant are now, and forever will be, inducers of panic.
- facebook, always
- finding everything the snake says perfectly agreeable and perfectly relatable
- going to the capital without anyone to visit
- having memories of no-one nearby, near my heart and near my body
- hearing cheers and screams from neighbouring houses, celebrating the way i would
- letting the most ever possible out of my shelled personality in front of someone, out of a deeper lack (and it's worthless, in the end, because the lack can't be replaced but by the same person that creates it)
- my fingertips are electric, but the shock goes inwards
- my stuffed animals growing old, more lifeless as their fur hardens.
- realising there is no need to buy any presents while overseas
- seeing how everyone switched to night-time fun
- studying without a voice to echo my mental rumination
- the aviator's dilemma
- the lack of a silent presence in film-watching
- the witching hour when anxiety creeps and there's no-one at phone reach in whom to find any solace
- typed birthday greetings
- walking by the playground at school and examining the scribbles on the slide
- walking to the garden in the morning and feeling the adventurous early "getting up before my friend" morning air
