Aching and drawn out.

Anticipation can become a central feature if you let it.

The air there is filled with other people's thoughts.

Something to worry about always manages to work it's way up to the top of your mind.

A letdown.

The unexpected opportunity or chance to shine never arrives, so don't bother waiting for it or else, should it arrive, things will have gotten so bad it will hardly even matter.

A lot of second guessing to the tenth power.

Ill defined down to it's smallest particle.

Too short to really enjoy and too long to simply ignore.

Potentially far better or far worse with friends.

Try making lists so you don't forget something important.

Nothing is really important until you realize everything is incredibly so.

Everything you say about other people will be said about you, and worse.

Everything you think about other people will be thought about you also.

Your fantasy compliments will sound crazy should you find someone to provide them to you.

People you hire to say good things about you will not believe them, and neither should you.

The least popular thing is often a million times better than the most, which is why nobody is willing to share it.
