Oh, Hello Resistance

Oh Resistance, I know you're there. More often than usual these days. When it's time to write. To shower. To get groceries.

Naming you seems to help—a lot. "Hello, Resistance" I say out loud. I write it down. You are real.

Once you get the attention you crave, you often lose interest and leave. And I am left feeling a little smug for having pushed through despite your presence.
