Waiting...waiting...stop

[myrddyn]

I get the impression that a lot of people go through periods of their lives during which they are waiting for the next thing to happen. Highschool, highschool ending, college, graduation, getting a good job, getting married, having kids...on and on. There is always something on the horizon. We get to those places by default sometimes, but more often we get to them by ceasing to wait and starting to strive. The trouble is that the default setting can be a trick. Enough things happen to fall into place and you start expecting that. It's a lie.

There's been a lot of waiting in my life recently. Waiting for graduate school to "click", waiting to move on to the next degree and some waiting that I don't choose to discuss. In the meantime I fall behind in various aspects of my life because I think that I'll do that "next".

So, I'm making a choice: Fuck waiting.
