dear eye twitch.

dear eye twitch,
it was so special of you to start surfacing at the beginning of November and increase with twitchy wonder as the weeks passed. i know why you are here, because of my lack of sleep and stressful behaviors, but honestly must you start when i am talking to people.

in sound.
