[vent] WILL YOU STOP CLEARING YOUR THROAT?!

I'm at this wonderful, quiet, ambient coffee shop. Never been here before. Just ordered some mushroom stew. Can't wait.

AND THIS GUY IS CLEARING HIS THROAT EVERY 30 SECONDS I SWEAR TO GOD. They've been doing it for five minutes straight. I'm going to lose it. 😭

I'm going to put in my earbuds as soon as I've finishes typing this, but that kind of ruins the whole experience. 😭 I'll try some white noise...

Vent over.

It's usually cancer or a nasty, lifelong digestive issue which can eventually lead to cancer. Throat, lungs, stomach or anything along the way gets damaged, scarred, hardens and rubs roughly against each other, making every breath and swallowing a neverending reminder that the rest of your short remaining timeline will be one dominated by pain and suffering and all you can do is wait for it to happen or just risk it all and bite a bullet now.

Or it's just a heartburn. Probably ate something oily.

Pray it's the latter. πŸ₯ΊπŸ™πŸ‘ Olga Jegunova's piano playing stilled my nerves anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch_videos?video_ids=vp_h649sZ9A%2Cn27td0Y1ov0%2Cw_z9oSn-eIM%2CsD5ix9diUU8
