Yknow how

You’re looking for something. In the moment, you really need it. You need it badly. You can’t move forward without it. You search high and low but you can never seem to find it. It ruins all your plans and you have to either start from scratch with something new or find something that can replace it.

You’re distraught for a while. You scratch your head in the corner of where you swore you last saw it, and it’s not there. Not even close. And this thing loves to go missing. It’s like an Olympic sport the way this thing loves to just disappear on you. So you do what you do best when life gives you lemons and you make fucking moist ass fluffy ass lemon pound cake. The kind with the fucking drizzle and shit. Your pound cake is fucking delicious.

What were you looking for again? Months go by and you don’t even need it anymore. You’re not looking for it, you’re not even worried about it. When someone brings it up you’re just like “oh yeah funny story, totally fucking lost that thing. No clue where it is now but I sure hope it’s still intact! Maybe someone stole it, or maybe in my hurried state to make this delicious ass pound cake I totally misplaced it, who knows??” You look around from time to time out of sheer curiosity just where exactly it landed. You think you see it out of the corner of your eye from time to time, but you have more or less made peace with the loss of the thing.

Sometimes you get “lucky” and all of a sudden, there it is! But you’re just kinda like “oh there’s that thing I was looking for… oh well. I don’t really need it anymore.”

And then you keep moving forward
