Initially, there's anticipation... for a prolonged period. You have faith, you anticipate, you verify, pondering if it has already happened or is about to. Ultimately, it hinges on what you are waiting for and then arrives the sentiment of "thanks, but no need." A composed, unfluctuating comprehension that even if it were to occur now, you wouldn't be able to embrace and relish it as you did while waiting. So, thanks, but no need. That's how it is now... like this... After all this, not anymore. No, I'm not being temperamental. I'm not manipulating. I'm not exacting a toll. It's simply not.
And it's inconsequential if someone has understood, resolved, realized, and is finally prepared. You should have deliberated earlier. Sooner. Trains depart, planes depart, people cease waiting. Everyone? Yes, everyone. And don't do this... How can you not see that these are extenuating circumstances? I see it. I acknowledge it. But I don't want to anymore.
Take a moment and contemplate: aren't you apprehensive? Abandoning your dreams, isn't it daunting? No, it's not! Because a dream wounded by protracted waiting is no longer a dream. Its vitality is seeping away. Shall we perish already? - Let's go!
Consequently, it's better to relinquish your dreams when it's evident that waiting is becoming customary.
I'd like to inquire of many people, and sometimes myself: why do you presume that they will wait for you? After all the time and numerous instances of waiting, how can you be so sure that you are deserving of it? How can you be confident that the time spent with you is so invaluable that others won't find something else to fulfill their lives? Even the most profound love can fade if you consistently disappoint someone's expectations. And what can be said about friendships and professional commitments?
Thus, refrain from making people wait. It's quite disheartening to hear the response "thanks, but no need." Nonetheless, feeling emptiness instead of hope is also far from satisfying.
