“Do you think my life is empty?” I roll my eyes. “Okay, that sounded more pitiful than I thought it would. Very county song lyric worthy.”
“It didn’t sound pitiful, and no I do not think you’re life is empty.”
“Do you think that could be a country song lyric?”
A flat look. “Why do you think your life is empty?”
“Well, I’m looking at the facts, for one. I wake up, I eat, I work, I watch TV, and then I sleep. That’s it. Not much variation. And…” I trail off. I look at my pretty Christmas tree, coming along but still needs finished; my cozy living room, full of second-hand furniture but tidy and neat. It’s all okay, very livable, but there’s just something missing.
“What?” Layla asks.
My breath leaves me on a long sigh. I feel deflated. “I’m wondering if I’m wasting my life.”
For the first time since she walked in, her face scrunches and her eyes fill with concern. “So what are you saying? You want to…what? Move? Change jobs?”
“No. Nothing that drastic. I mean, whether I live in Silver Lake or Chicago won’t change that I feel lonely. Or, maybe that’s not the right word. I just feel like I need to shake things up a bit. I need to do more, experience more.”
“There’s nothing wrong with your life—”
“No, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong. I’m just saying that maybe there’s something more."
