Anticipating Life

Sometimes life feels like watching a movie you only keep on because you're waiting for that plot twist to finally happen.

So you wait.

And wait.

And - wait - is it ever going to happen?

The thought of it never occurring is a scary one so you try to push it aside.

Feed yourself with distractions to ignore the luring threat of nothing ever changing.

 Of being stuck as a half-finished version of yourself in a world that seems to be filled with people getting further than you.

But there is still always that tiny chance.

Of the plot finally changing for you too.

And so you stay waiting.

Just a little longer.

In constant anticipation.

 Because maybe, just maybe, the best part of your movie is just around the corner.
