Waiting

In the book, persuasion by jane austen, the two people met and fell in love. Soon, they were separated, to meet once again.

Sometimes, the time is not right for the two people to come together or for things to happen. Even though everything feels correct, still things don’t work out.

In such scenarios, a person usually tries to wait for the person or for the opportunity, they feel are worth waiting for.

Isn't it beautiful when people wait for someone or something, they give away a portion of their life, doing nothing, just waiting. Checking again and again, if they have arrived, and every time they have not, feel the disappointment, but still hoping and keeping faith.

Sometimes, this wait is momentary and sometimes, it consumes years of your life.

A reply from a friend on WhatsApp. Checking the ‘last seen at’ again and again. All of us have gone through that one feeling where the person last seen is updated but the reply is still awaited. There is a sudden rush-of-thoughts in your mind. Few people doesn't bother much and some thoughts go in a different direction. And the very next moment when the reply arrives, it brings a smile to your face. This is called waiting.

Waiting for somebody can be restless and annoying. But we still wait, we still want to wait, why?

Maybe because we want to be with the person, no matter for how long, the mere sight of that person or reply from that person makes us forget the bitterness of waiting.

But I truly believe and have confidence that one day the wait will be answered because waiting is a journey where everybody embarks alone. As every journey has an end, so this journey also ends with the light.

What is more interesting is that sometimes this answer brings and revives your hope and your faith and sometimes it will be just be an answer. 

Whatever it is , it teaches you a wonderful lesson of patience. It teaches us that we should never rush into things, because slow and steady you will win the race.

When the wait gets over, either you are left with that one person with whom you want to be or with a smile that even if it didn't happen, you are still content and satisfied that you have done everything you could.

Trust me, the patience will bring you peace, you will not remain a wanderer, with no directions. You will definitely reach the end of the tunnel, and see the light.

So, wait as long as you can, to see how the story ends….but wait for something or somebody, only when you have done all you could do in your capacity!!!
