The brief lapse of time when you are in the middle of a conversation and – as the
words continue to fly out of the mouths of those around you contributing to the discussion - you simultaneously begin to form myriad opinions and ideas in your own head; building and molding them to fit the
flow of the conversation. The
words begin to accumulate in the back of your throat, organizing and prepping themselves to evolve into a presentable series of
words. Until finally, they rise up, ready to leave your parted lips, and you eagerly prepare yourself to become an active participant in this
pool of thoughts and ideas. But immediately begin to feel a resistance, a swift
tug that draws the series of
words back down into a lump in your throat, and there they stay. The thoughts and ideas that you once formed simmer away as an inside thought and you contently remain a passive participant in the conversation.
