An old soul with a young heart…
It’s been quite a while since I’ve eaten at this counter. I used to frequent this place during my days off as soon as the pangs of hunger hit in the morning. I took strange comfort in being amongst a group of predominantly septuagenarian eaters. I felt like I was in some kind of secret club (it seemed that hardly anyone under the age of fifty sat alone at the counter - except me). For some reason I saw a future version of myself in those graying gentlemen, their knotty noses buried in the newspaper and a piping cup of coffee in hand. For someone absurdly afraid of getting old, I’m surprised by the peace that I find when I’m rubbing elbows with them.
