It is quarter past 3 in the morning, and I am staring at my computer screen so intently that all the colours seem to merge effortlessly into one. After many minutes of intense battle between my eyes, my brain, and the screen, my brain surrenders, and I slowly delve into a state which may be likened to sleep. This is not a first. This has been the case almost every night for the past few days. "Sleep is for the weak" someone once said. Well, if not sleeping makes you strong, I'm closing in on Schwarzenegger! Now, you may be wondering what possesses me to combat the will of the human body. Well, the singular reason for the above iterated nocturnal pattern is "The Wait".
I am waiting for something. Something which I thought would arrive much earlier. It hasn't arrived yet, and my life hangs in the balance. What I am waiting for may not be relevant , but it sure has made me re-evaluate my entire mental character. I have realised that waiting for something I really want is not my cup of tea. I'll have it as soon as possible, thank you very much. And express delivery will be duly rewarded! Which led me to blogging my thoughts on this whole issue of waiting. I was waiting to make another entry into my blog, and I thought to myself, why wait?
I could try and sound pseudo-philosophical and state the oft stated claim, that all of us are waiting for something in our lives, and that this wait continues for all our life. But I think I'll choose a slightly more ground level approach to this topic and share my two cents worth on this topic. So then, why is it that many of us crack under the pressure of a wait, while the rest of us simply do not let it get to us? And also, does a wait make the end result sweeter or just plain sour? You know what, I don't think I really know the answer myself! I hope I do get to know soon enough. I can't wait!
So on that unbelieveably pointless note, I shall sign off, by quoting the great Mark Twain. I think his words summarise what I had started off trying to iterate. Anyways, over to Mr. Twain -
"All good things arrive unto them that wait - and don't die in the meantime."

The wait is merely a test... You may not realise this but there is a point to all this and u can only realise it once the wait is over..
It will happen at a time you least expect and when it does you'll be so overcome with emotion - the wait in question will be long forgottem...
Think about what i said carefully and apply it to all the things you've "Waited" for in your life.
What you might realise is that the wait justified the result or it dint.
This is me hoping for the former.
Btw...someone said "sleep is for the weak"? indeed.
I think it was obi wan kanobi who also said "the force has a strong effect on the weak minded"
Are you now one step closer to your realisation? I would hope so
Love
mum
sweetie...
pardon me for being my usual anal self, but if you say "anyways" one more time you won't have to wait very long to find out wat I will do to you.
I do, after all, know where you live.
:D
