A weekend in the "woulds"

It would be so much better if I could do that over again. It would be so nice if I could skip this day and fast forward into the next one. That dress/meal/>insert thing here < would be good.

Would, would, would.

The wood of "woulds" is dark and deep. You get lost in it.

The forest of "wills" looks greener, but think about it. I will do that tomorrow. I will be better, faster, stronger. I will, I will, I will.

I could go on in this way but you get the point.

I spent the long weekend swimming in will and would. It was not fun. At all. You think you're getting somewhere but you are just going in circles. Even this post is going in circles. I had better get it moving.

The long weekend was a nice break from work. I saw @striving_muslimah and @wittycraze active on Facebook. Seeing a Wattpad person on Facebook or a Facebook person on Wattpad is a bit unreal. I'm like, hey, this website is the wrong colour. Oh, no, this is a different webspace altogether. Hello, Sharifah. *hits the "like" button*
Winter has finally arrived and I am all bundled up. People are going around in various states of dress. Some won't wear more than one sweater and prefer to stay in front of the heater. Others put on layers upon layers. I am a layered person. Sure, I look bulky, but I'm warm.

My mother has a week of winter holidays. For once, I left the home in the morning and she stayed. Strangely enough, I didn't feel resentful towards her for having off time when I didn't. I had spent the weekend trying to get out of the wood of "woulds" and I welcomed the change of scene. Still, no place like home.

How many of you have winter break? And what do you do when you find yourself caught up too much in the future?
