There is a time for everything.
Sometimes, I notice myself being impatient and want some things right NOW. But I realize that I can't have everything I want even if they are good things at the time _I think_ is best for me. There will be those moments that things would come my way and show up at my doorstep - I know they are wonderful things. It's just that I might not be ready for them just yet.
Take for example a pet cat. I know I would like to have a cat. I would love to have a cat. I always wanted one. But it's not time for me to have one because I might not be able to take good care of that cat. It would be impractical at this time because I am frequently out of the house and my pet dog is often lonely enough as it is. But if I get another pet, like a kitten - it might not really survive. That would break my heart if that happens.
One day, I will have my pet cat. I will someday be able to take care of it and love it the way I should. =)
In any case, this applies to a lot of things in my life. Not just pet cats, but a whole lot more.
Am I being vague? *laughs* I am sorry. I just don't know how to go about this.
In any case, I would just like to say that there is a time for everything. A farmer plants seeds, waters them, makes sure they have fertilizer, later on removes weeds around the plants, and so on. And there are times when he has to wait for the seeds to grow into seedlings, then much later into mature trees that thrive and bear much fruit.
The waiting season may not seem so fun. But it's during this waiting season that growth happens.
It's during the waiting season that things start to change and we see these changes if we are careful enough to observe. Sometimes these changes could be critical too.
Sometimes people simply have to wait. =) In time, things will come to pass. There is a right time for everything. And there are things that shouldn't be rushed at all, no matter how nice these things are. I guess another anology I could put here is wine... They say that wine gets better in the course of time. Or jazz artists for that matter. I have a friend who keeps telling me that as time goes by jazz artists just get better at what they do - the way they play music or sing, the way emotions just show up in their performances. And like jazz artists who have been playing together for a while, they know each other - they could listen to each other, know the timing, know the flow. It's nice that way. More than nice - wonderful. =)
People will grow, people will change. And people who are together, such as friends grow together and help build each other up, laugh together, cry together, have some random arguments when they have certain differences that cannot be avoided. But the whole point of it is they get to know each other better and they could see each others' real selves. That is something really important. That is something I know I should remember.
It's nice to be happy ^____^
I know I am tired, I might have actually passed by Mishka Adams (but was already in the FX on the way home), I sort of still botched up the Ubuntu install (not quite... I just didn't know what to do... But thanks to
JM for all the help! And thanks to
Dom for yesterday too!) but I am happy with the way some things are in my life. ^__^
