I prefer birds singing over construction.

I prefer crickets chirping over sirens screaming.

I prefer the huff of my breath over the hum of my A/C.

I prefer the rustling of leaves under my feet over pounding the pavement.

I prefer the curiosity of my dogs sniffs over people’s boring complaints.

I prefer wind chimes over crying.

I prefer page turning over channel changing.

I prefer the clicking of my camera over the bang of a Beretta.

I prefer conversation over typing for texts.

I prefer crunching veggies over chewing meat.
