What It's Like Waiting For Something

Waiting for something can be both rewarding, frustrating and not to mention, challenging.

There is part of you that is constantly trying to distract yourself from waiting. You do so by immersing yourself into your work, hanging out with your friends and going out on mediocre Tinder dates, knowing there will never be a second. You also usually start up by picking up new hobbies and doing things to be more creative.

Your days are spent with trying to fill every minute with as much excitement, or distractions as you possibly can. Why? Because you simply cannot stand to let your mind wander to the places where it usually does. What is that you say? That is the thing that you are waiting for. Here's what people go through, waiting for something they marked in their calendars.

1. Setting the date.

This is it. You know the date. Everything is set, you cleared your schedule and everyone who is coming with did the same. This is where the countdown begins.

2. Day dreaming.

Now come the day dreams. You picture what it would be like, how much fun you are going to have and all the memories you are going to make.

3. Constantly checking the time.

Every moment you stop doing something, you check your phone or other device and look at the time. Sadly, only a few hours have gone by instead of days like you were hoping.

4. Getting Ready.

Whether it's figuring out what outfits you are going to bring with you, what kind of makeup looks you're going to do, or what things you need to bring along with you, you start planning and getting ready.

5. Checking the time... again.

Once again, only a few minute or hours went back.

6. Distractions, distractions, distractions.

You'll literally do anything to pass the time. Cook, clean, sleep more. Even things you never thought you would do in your life. ANYTHING to make the time go by faster.

7. Finally!

This is it! The day is here! You go out there and have fun.

8. Sadness....


Now that you have nothing to look forward to, you become saddened in a way.

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
