Wait Up

All good things come to those who wait, but so do terrible things. If you wait around long enough, terrible things catch up to as quickly as wonderful things. The only difference is, you’re patiently waiting for them to overtake you. You’re waiting for fate to step in and take control of your life for you. It’s an avoidance of making a decision, getting involved, making an impact on your own future. You’ll let the planets decide before you know what’s for dinner. The only problem is, the planets could care less, and while you’re waiting, you starve to death. Me, I’ll eat something small and then see what the planets are dishing out, usually orbits, I don’t eat orbits. While you’re waiting to hear about a job, an examination, that clunking noise your car makes just before it overheats, while you’re waiting, the outcome doesn’t change anyway, if you’re leaving it up to fate, it’s already pre-decided anyway, you aren’t going to change the outcome by being less vocal or by feigning apathy or suppressing your anticipation. Really all you can do is move forward, get busy, put in some work, because all things may come to those who wait, but personally, I’m hoping to avoid some of them.
