Waiting

What do you like to do while you wait? It doesn't matter what you are waiting on, because waiting is waiting no matter who you are waiting for or what you are waiting on. I usually enjoy playing video games or watching sporting events on television. Those things usually entertain me pretty well. Sometimes, however, it isn't enough. Sometimes those things don't keep me occupied. Sometimes it feels as if you have more time by yourself than you could possibly need or want to accumulate at one time and nothing you do seems to fill the void.

I have been trying to keep myself entertained for the past hour and 15 minutes as I wait for someone and everything I do doesn't seem to work to fill the void of this person being gone. I am not sure what this person could be doing or saying that could take this long or create such a stimulated conversation between her and others that she couldn't let me know what was going on until I checked on her, but I know she is doing what is best for her right now.

I just took a walk around the residence hall I am in right now, wondering why I feel so alone or upset right now. I guess it is due to the fact that the person of whom I am waiting on made it seem like she would be back in 25 minutes or so based on many people being home due to Labor Day weekend travels. It is nearing an hour and 20 minutes of time spent solo and I am wondering why she couldn't tell me she would be longer than the 25 or 30 minutes she hinted she might disappear for. Whatever it is, I don't want to seem like I am pissed or anything because I am not. I am just a little upset that I was, at least in my own head, mislead by the information presented to me and not contacted when it changed.

If you read this Amy, I love you so much and I am not angry at you or anything. I just wish you could have let me know you were stopping to talk to residents for an hour or so so that I didn't worry about you or what you were doing, because Lord knows....I was.

Communication is the key to any relationship and the most healthy tool you can use and utilize. Without communication, the world will never work and people will never work to their full potential.

Until next time.
