That's what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. -Saving Mr. Banks


What are we waiting for?

Validation from a peer for saying something exceptional

A monotonous job to give you an inkling of joy

A flower to bloom

College

The day you figure out what to do with your life

That person to call you back

Your favorite artist to go on tour

To go back to school

Peace

For a terrible year to end

Going home to spend time with your loved ones

To see your dog one last time

We are a society waiting for some remarkable absolution that will never

Come

We are a society of waiters

We care for others wholeheartedly all the while waiting for the same treatment in return

We are the Waiting
