I thought I needed a quieter apartment. Turns out I just needed to stop narrating my own day to myself while I lived it.

I blamed the street. The neighbors. The thin walls. I was sure the problem was out there somewhere.

The noise was the running commentary in my head. A voice describing every hour while I was still inside it.

You can just live an hour without narrating it. It's quieter in here than I ever thought it could be.
