keep on keepin on

just today, amid the chaos and insanity of finishing thesis, i grabbed a meal.

rarely do i eat at taco johns, but i felt like a childhood standby: a place that defined much of my elementary and highschool out-to-eat experiences.
also, a place that i went with my parents just a few weeks ago.

so, there i was within the confines of tj's by myself, grilled chicken burrito in hand.

when i noticed the couple next to me:
silence.

not one word throughout their entire meal.
sure, some people could look at this as "whoa, bad relationship."

but i found it.....beautiful?
the beauty of the silence between two people.
i feel that much of a relationship, romantic or otherwise, lies in what is not said.

the comfort of silence between two.

that is all.
now, please, pray or whatever, that i may finish this shit, get a damn degree, and be released into the wild.
