Not That Hard

This isn't really the hard part. Well, it is hard, but it isn't the hardest part. I've gotten pretty good at waiting, it seems like that's all I ever do. I used to think I was impatient, but in many ways, I'm the most patient person I know. I'd never really thought about it, but society on a whole spends alot of time waiting. Waiting for a phone call, waiting for the stores to open, waiting for a light to turn green. Waiting for the movie to start, waiting for the bus, waiting for the rain to stop. We wait in lines, we even have rooms designated specifically for waiting. For a world that is so focused on advancing and moving forward, we sure spend alot of time standing still. Some of us can go about our everyday lives and still be waiting for something. Waiting for forgiveness, waiting to get older, waiting for the person you love to figure out whether they love you back. But like I said, waiting isn't that hard. It's like the equivalent of pushing the pause button on our lives, or on our minds, or on our hearts. The hard part is figuring out what to do after the indefinite period of waiting is over. Figuring out what I want. Figuring out where to go from here.
