“I like to listen more than talk”

Daily writing prompt
What topics do you like to discuss?

10:46 a.m.

Went to sleep around 2.

Still tired.

Up at 6:30.


Coffee in my hand.

Eyes closed.

Silence around me.


Thinking about something simple.


What do I like to talk about?


Yeah, I like movies.

Boxing.

Basketball.

Aliens.

Paranormal stuff.


But honestly…

that’s not my favorite part.


What I really like…

is listening.


Sometimes I’ll just sit there.

Eyes closed.

Hands behind my head.


And let someone talk.


Even if they think their story is boring.


I don’t interrupt.

I don’t rush them.


I just listen.


And for some reason…

that feels better than talking.
