Sittin', Waitin', Wishin'

Sittin'
Sitting here in my bed after a long but wonderful day with my sister, and family. I should be sleeping, but I feel the need to write. What keeps us sitting? Staying still for periods of time? I watched a movie, and then Grey's Anatomy tonight, I sat in the car on the drive up here. I sat through class all semester... Generally speaking its a long term goal that keeps us sitting. Graduating college, getting to my sister's house. Sitting helps you accomplish those, it is in so many words a means to an end. We also sit for enjoyment, to relax. Although personally I don't feel that just because I'm sitting that it helps me relax, my brain spins a million mph... pretttttty much 24/7. Not always fun, but it can be pretty entertaining.

Waitin'
What are we waiting for? Tomorrow, the weekend, next week, next month, next year. Most of us are always waiting for something. As if the present isn't good enough. That face time you're getting with your new love interest is interrupted because you're waiting on a call, or text, or email. We don't know about tomorrow, why are we waiting for it? expecting it to be better? It might not even come. Chances are it will. But why put it off. Why put off telling him or her you like them? Or that you Love your family? That you don't see them nearly enough? Or that you love your friends and cherish their friendship? Why waste time focusing on everything they're not. Instead of everything they are? Why are we waiting for life to pass us by? So we can lay on our death beds (preferable over the pavement) saying I Wish I....

Wishin'
I wish I may I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight.
I wish the stars would always shine and the man I adore would ask to be mine.
I wish for health and happiness to all that i hold dear
I wish for courage, strength, and love to keep my mind and heart clear
I wish for someone to hold my hand when i'm sad, and to hold me when all i want to do is cry.
I wish that it wasn't hard to be alone.

Wasting away the day wishin', or maybe it's a perfect way to spend the day. Dreaming is good, as long as you do not let your dreams paralyze you, or hold you back. Dreaming, Wishing, is great, it's ideal. but stop waiting. Those dreams aren't just going to land on your lap. You're going to have to work for them. So stand back up and get your hands dirty. Nothing worth having comes easy.
