20 minutes

The canteen is filled with colleagues, and I was sitting next to them, enjoying my salad. I could hear them chattering, laughing, but I did not pay attention to their conversations or intend to join them.

I was just existing at that moment. Sitting amongst them, enjoying my salad, spacing out, let my thoughts run wild, run to the forest, fly to the sky, and dive deep into the ocean. That was a short 20 minutes, also a much needed 20 minutes all to myself.
