Wait...

I really hate waiting for things to happen... I'm sure many of you have exprerience of waiting for something to happen or waiting for someone, and are able understand the agony of waiting. Waiting for someone to reach, waiting for phone calls, waiting for results, waiting to get off work, waiting for movies to be on screens, etc... If the waits pays off, it's still not too bad, but if you are waiting for something that is never going to happen and continue to wait.

I'm waiting for so many things in my life... I'm waiting for my exam to start, waiting to go home, waiting to finish my studies, waiting to see what the future holds for me... I'm really sick of waiting. Why can't I have it NOW? Then again, I realise the consequences of having everything I want now... Perhaps things have to happen in sequence? Like first u have this, then you have this... Like study first, work, get married kinda thing.

Now I'm complaining about waiting, but I realise it's good to have something to wait for sometimes... At least, there's something to look forward to, it means you are hopeful. Imagine, one day in your life, it just hit you that there's nothing worth looking forward to or worth waiting for. It probably means that you have reach a stagnant point in life, you stop moving forward and that's when someone is hopeless.

The thing about waiting is also to do with expectations. Why do we wait? Its because, we're expecting something to happen. For those who are waiting for someone, they are expecting that they MIGHT have a future together? For those who are waiting for results of exams, the might be expecting good results? Probably if they know they are going to flunk it, they wouldn't want to get their papers back at all cost. For those who are waiting for phone calls, they are expecting that the other party is going to call. Perhaps to the other party, it doesn't really matter if they made the call, but to the person's who waiting, the call may be really important?

I guess, to minimise the miserable effects of waiting... its to expect less? or don't expect anything at all? No Expectations, No disappointment and No achievements as well... I guess we just have to figure out which one we value more? For me, I cannot handle disappointments... so, I will opt for no expectations, I'll rather do things myself then to wait for it to be done.
