Waiting

The hardest thing in the world is waiting.

Waiting for that application to be processed. It took a while to gather all the documents you needed and to have them certified. It took even longer to get the correct photos and to have your identity verified. And then as you get ready to post the application you find out that you can apply online, so after banging your head on your desk for a half hour, you do just that. And then it is out of your hands. And so you wait.

 Waiting for that book to be delivered. You know you wanted that book as soon as you heard that she was writing it. But you decide to wait till the paperback comes out as you don't like hardcovers much. But then you see her being interviewed on the TV and just like that your mind is made up and you find that you had ordered the book before the interview is finished. The website tells you that it has been dispatched two days later but it also tells you that it could take seven to ten working days before you get it. And so you wait.

Waiting for that certain someone to come into your life. You have been teased for so long but you haven't lost hope. You know it could go wrong but you know you have to cope as you have done too many times before. The end is almost in sight. And so you pray. And so you wait.

Waiting is the hardest thing in the world.
