In the past few days, my random repetition of words has become increasingly frequent. Anything with a "sharp" sound that catches my ear, I'll start repeating it. I think it's a stress response, something to take my mind off of things I'd rather not think about.

Taupe
Sleep
Grow
Tick tock
Jewel
Okay
Song
Zed
Shine

If I give in to the repetition, my mind has to empty to think about the word coming off my tongue. I'm tired of the stress. I just want to close my eyes and dream. For now, "ear-catching" words will have to fill the space.
