To wait

Time goes by, minutes fly away and you're waiting. Pacience is a great virtue, they say. You hold yourself and wait quiet on the outside and so nervous and shaking on the inside. It feels like the clock stopped, "why this won't happen now?" you ask yourself. The answer is quite simple: nothing happens right away just because we want them to. We never stop to think that it took billions of years for the Earth to look like we know it, not a month, not two years, but almost 5 billion years! It's boring indeed to think about that, and we couldn't possibly wait billions of years for something to happen, but a few years won't hurt. To look ahead and think "I still have to wait for 3 years to get into college, that's too much!" but when you look back, it seems like yesterday. So don't worry, everything happens when it's supposed to, not too late, not too early, but on the perfect timing. For now, you must enjoy your life, live day after day, avoid thinking ahead on the future like "a year from now and I can get my driver's license" and just wait. When you keep worrying about the future, your life passes by without you even noticing, so stop looking at the calendar every day because it's just like watching the clock: one minute feels like five. It will happen sometime, I promise. For now, just wait.

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. He has made everything beautiful in its time. " Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
