You know how you have to sit in line for things to get what you want? It doesn't even have to be in a store or anything, it could be that you're waiting for traffic to lighten up or waiting in line at the all you can eat - simple freebies like that. You wait and you wait but do you always wait for yourself? What I mean is, is it always something you want for yourself?
If you do, you clearly live alone and have been for a while now.
As for me, I didn't have that luxury. I grew up waiting in lines for anyone but myself. Shopping trips I spent in line while my mother or my friends looked for clothes or shoes or other useless things to spend money on. It's not so much a problem because I truly never cared about clothes or shopping. I didn't want that luxury.
So I spent my time wasting away in boredom, waiting in line and watching the daily idiocies of strangers with money to spend.
A placeholder for anyone who knew me in that world.
I hadn't returned after college. I hadn't planned to. I wanted to stay as far away from what used to be home. I wanted to stand on my own two feet. You'd think college would've made that happen but it only made me seem smaller, and I was already pretty short.
So how I ended up back where I started...
I'll never really know.
