There's just so much noise.

I used to be able to do this. Ideas had always been there. Fingers would eagerly dance across a keyboard, weaving a tapestry of story — however long or short, it just HAPPENED.

I used to be able to do this. But now there's just so much noise.

Has it always been this noisy?

Has it always been this noisy and the older I get, the better I am at hearing?

To be fair, when I was younger, I didn't have three different social networks constantly refreshing. I didn't have four devices on my person begging for attention. I didn't have a measly five minute window to myself for "personal edification"—it was at least six minutes. Maybe even seven.

Regardless of the dwindling minutes, I want to course correct.

I want my ideas back.

I want my fingers to dance again.

But there's just so much damn noise.
