We Used To Wait

Waiting is a funny thing. Everything makes you wait. Jobs, people, commercials, loading screens, lines. Life is waiting for something to happen, it happening, you enjoying/loathing it for it's duration, and then waiting again. And lately that's been my favorite hobby. Waiting and drinking (sorry family) have been my most frequent activities for the past weeks. Whether it is for a job to call back, for a meeting with a friend, for money so I can do things, whatever. That's what I've been doing and it's only recently occurred to me that that is indeed the reason that nothing has been happening. How interesting that when I finally said I would stop waiting for everyone else, I got a call for an interview and a text from the friend.

So why do we wait? Because I know this isn't at all the first time this epiphany has leaped out to me, but it always fails to take. Maybe because it's easier to wait. Play the victim, so to speak. Or maybe it's not that we've just been waiting but that we've been lingering on what we waited for instead of moving on and leaving those things to fate. But on the day that I decided to be through, these things decide to come through? How interesting our world is.
