Imagine if you could literally eat your own words? The texture, consistency, taste. I don't think I'd be able to swallow my own words despite my greatest efforts; unless I want to cough up blood. 'And'. It's a common word and I use it a lot. It links other words together but it is that hesitation of the word 'and'. It gets stuck in my throat, it's just that, if I can barely utter the word to extend my point, how on earth am I meant to force it back down? It's a long, confusing concept to me but imagine if I could eat my own words... Would I be leaner, thinner - would I be a nicer person, more bitter? Or would I be further lost, vile and empty...
