I
sit
in
the
corner
with
my
book
.
Reading
,
but
watching
carefully
.
Customers
come
and
go
,
their
coffee
in
hand
.
The
smell
of
burnt
coffee
beans
Sticking
to
everything
.
I
snuggle
further
into
my
seat
;
watching
.
I
miss
this
perch
.
The
small
town
world
passing
by
.
I
spoke
to
no
one
,
but
overheard
everything
.
I
gave
my
order
Watched
everyone
And
left
without
meeting
anyone
.

unhinged
when
my
depression
gets
REALLY
bad
i
force
myself
to
take
my
laptop
to
a
coffeeshop.
there
is
actually
neurological
value
in
this
.
i
read
a
book
about
the
neuroscience
of
depression
and
being
around
people
even
in
a
passive
way
has
a
positive
effect
on
the
wiring
of
our
brains
that
combats
depression
.
we
really
are
social
animals
.
our
brain
responds
to
being
around
other
people
even
if
we
aren't
directly
interacting.

My
therapist
has
been
adamantly
supportive
of
my
passive
socialization.
The
world
around
me
scares
me
,
but
not
from
the
back
of
a
coffeehouse.
