I feel like all I've done the past year is wait.
Wait for my job to lead towards my career
Wait for my family to understand me
Wait for you to find me
Wait for my friends to step up
Wait for my heart to mend
Wait for my mind to quit being my worst enemy
Wait for my heart to slow down
Wait for butterflies in my stomach
Wait to catch my breath
Wait for you
Wait.
Most of these things I cannot control. Most things just are. It's hard to wrap your head around things you have no effect over, even though they effect you.
I'm trying hard to change the things I can, and moving on from those I can't.
There are still many things that boggle my mind. Like someone I care about can be so distant and dishonest. Not only with me, but with themselves and others. I'm starting to go to that place that I hate, the place of no trust and no respect. I don't want to feel this way, and I'm working hard on moving past these things, but it's proving to be more difficult than I anticipated. I'm not sure if you call this being the bigger person, or if I'm taking the higher road, but whatever it is, it's hard. Hard to let the little things go, hard to know there are lies and not bring them up, hard to look them in the face and try your hardest to be a good friend.
I guess this is the stuff that they say makes us stronger, makes us wiser. I guess in the end, I'll know if that's true. If someday I can look back on this and know the true value of it all.
Until then, deep breaths are my only consistency. A peaceful night my hideaway.
I cannot wait for these things, and I cannot wait for you to truly come around. You do you, and I'll do me, and in the end, we'll see.
