When you know something is imminent and that it’s coming in the near future, but you don’t exactly know when, it’s tough to not think about that thing all the time. Let’s be honest, humans don’t really like waiting for anything. They want it on demand. Right now, the thing I’m most excited for is Paramore’s 5th studio album to be announced and released. You most likely aren’t excited for that but there’s probably something your excited for.

If I had my way this new Paramore album would be announced this week and be out on Friday. But unfortunately for me that’s probably not going to happen. Waiting for things to happen that are exciting is a pain but waiting for them is half the fun. Once that thing comes that you’ve been waiting for, it passes by in a flash. Your most likely super excited for whatever it is before it happens or is released and when it does come and you get to experience it, your ecstatic. But that feeling soon fades, and the situation that you experienced soon becomes apart of your life.

Once the moment you’ve been waiting for arrives, you really need to enjoy it while it’s around. An experience such as going camping with your best friend is only going to happen for so long. Music is something different-you anticipate this album dropping and how amazing it’s going to be when you finally hear it. You listen to it like 40 times the day it comes out and the next day and so on but then you're going to want more, and the cycle starts all over again. If you enjoy the album the day it comes out and you appreciate it, then you’ll probably get a lot more enjoyment out of it.

Seeing as how I'm getting older I’ve noticed that everything is going by a lot faster. Christmas flew by this past year so fast it was crazy. I have learned to enjoy things while they are happening. Going back to this Paramore record that is coming out eventually, I want the album out immediately but at the same time I’m really enjoying the buildup to it. I’m enjoying the process that all the Paramore fans are going through right now waiting for this album.

The whole point of this weird article is to enjoy the process leading up to whatever it is you are anticipating. When the event or album release or whatever does happen, enjoy it as best as you can.
