Time is a tricky thing and for me, waiting is pain. In fact waiting on anyone is the number one way to get me annoyed. I am not sure why, but I have very strict waiting rules because I can ruin any event where I have to wait on people.
But generally waiting is annoying: for things to happen, for cakes to bake, for my skin to look amazing, to get a package...
In the grander sense, I feel that wanting things fast is a sign of immaturity cause a lot of human experience is in time. Anything that is worth having or building takes time and each step over time is what makes it. I focus on this idea more these days and I find that each experience can be seen through this prism:
- Losing weight is a process of time and patience and good habits
- Gaining strength is a process of small but constant improvements in what you can lift or how many times
- Skincare is a long process of keeping healthy skin and learning what's best for you, the results are usually rewarding 10-20 years from now
And so on so forth.
Yet I struggle cause I like for something to happen fast and decisive so I can move on to the next thing.
And here again I have to ask: to what end?
I hope time will also reveal this.
Maybe sooner than later if possible!
