Waiting Right Here
Thursday, December 22, 2011
( I
had a blast last week, for real,!:) And I wanna blog it soon with lots and lots
of fun pictures right here but I'm more melancholic at this hour. So I decided to write
about waiting instead. Sounds really ironic though but here’s how I’d
like to expound on that note.)
No room for denials, it’s a general fact.
Whether we had
lined up for concert tickets, stood for minutes to pee in the female’s room, and
spared time to wait for a cab ride home. We probably had our share of waiting,
and more scenarios that ultimately tested our patience.
One guy out there
is maybe waiting for that pretty girl to smile back at him after sort of
stalking her for a while. While that pretty girl was probably waiting for him
to ask her out directly. Well, chances are. Or after a big fight, lovers are
silently praying for the other to apologize first. Too bad for proud
individuals to ever demand for a “Sorry, I messed up babe,” from a partner. Maybe
after a long time of being together and feeling sure you want to settle down
with the man of your dreams, he ends up choked and unready to get himself tied.
So, are there really things worth the wait or is it about time, we
all have to be assertive? I’m not saying everything must come out instantly, (I
mean, as someone told me before: “Even instant noodles needs 3 minutes to cook in
hot water.”) nor am I pointing out that we need to throw tantrums for whatever
that doesn’t come on time but hey, what’s the issue, really?
So we probably
heard people telling us, “Good things come to those who wait,”. I am not really
a patient person so I asked them back, “How long should I wait?”.
Sadly though, that patience in waiting have allowed people to play
safe, to get satisfied by anything they got, to wait for people to push them
farther than the stationary spot they’re on.
We’ve approved life’s waves to take us, and waiting have brought
us into further confusions and dilemma if we would want to pursue something.
What has kept you waiting anyway in the first place?
Have you had a change of heart?
“Good things come
to those who want something so bad, they can’t sit still”. Maybe too impatient
but yeah, if you’re really driven, you sure can go risk everything. One friend
have escaped her safe zone and married an almost stranger after three months of
whirlwind love affair. She wanted true love and she got that. She took the
chance and she’s old enough to take in all the consequences of her actions.
So, should you or
should you not wait? That depends upon the sincerity of your desire and the
will of your soul.
The main point
here is probably not the act of waiting.
We’ve had our times of waiting and prolonged patience because we’re
afraid to know the answers. We keep asking God for signs; we keep asking our
family’s reassurance because we’ve been like coward dogs. We shy away from our
aspirations because of the fear of rejection and failure. We keep on
disappointing ourselves so we give us time, but what for, really?
Take some more big steps. You’re closer than you think you are. Almost
there.
