Waiting

Most of us people spend a great amount of our lives just waiting.
Waiting for the sun to set, waiting for someone to come along and sweep us "off our feet", waiting to get time with a loved one, waiting for an event that may never happen, waiting for others to change their minds.
...You get the idea, right?
Yet, about 90% of that waiting just turns out to be a waste of time. (I'd know from personal experience)
I've wasted so much of my life and time so far, by just waiting. Waiting for anything, really. But I always get left with disappointment.
And for some reason, I never learn from that one thing. I just continue to wait - but of course not for the same things from previous times.

I always tell myself, 'Tomorrow is another day' or 'Soon I'll no longer be waiting'.
For unknown reasons that "tomorrow" always has to be put off until another "tomorrow" and then another and another, and as soon as I know it, I'm waiting for weeks just to tell someone something or waiting for something new to happen.

Sometimes people can only wait so long and the things they want to say start to be turned into a "big deal", so some of us just give up on waiting. Some of us actually stick it out and wait for such a long time for that right moment to say a few words. And some of us wait until the situation becomes a "big deal"...but by that time rolls around, they could care less about the topic and it's pointless and has no meaning anymore.

Men...Don't keep women waiting.
Women...Don't keep men waiting for too long.

Actually, let's all just stop waiting and wasting time on something useless...of course, unless it's important.
But waiting for a long period of time, sometimes turns out not to be worth it.

As for me, I'm going to continue to wait and wait for the right moment to say/do something. But I definitely won't wait too long...or else by then, it's lost its own meaning. For the important stuff, I'll wait. For the not-so-important stuff, I'll move on and not waste my time.
