there's an old man sitting on the throne there saying i probablly shouldn't be so mean
”Oh it is day one for me,” I tell him, almost absentmindedly; my brain is swirling with all the information he had just given me. I didn’t realize there would be so many options. I had come from a barren land and I didn’t really feel like making a home in the desert again but after that, I didn’t know which way to go. The beach? Someplace green? What does he consider a challenging climate?
I can feel the anxiety starting to bubble up inside me; my heart begins to beat a little faster and my chest tightens. I inhale, exhale and focus on only that for a moment. I try not to let the anxiety override me, I know how to handle it and I am determined not to have a break down in front of this new friend. I exhale rather loudly and look up to Kendry. I should just ask him what his thoughts were. He’d been here longer than me, seen more than I. Obviously he somewhat knew his way around this place and I really didn’t want to stay here with all these people.
”Which is your favorite?” Simple enough. I can get an insider’s input, perhaps learn more about this new friend and save myself from a panic attack. Who knew four words could end up being my saving grace?
