the thing about waiting

Usually, it is a matter of spontaneity. Things cross the view and there it is. Hanging out seems to be against theme, or against brand or, who knows, just not less than kind of creepy, if I have to say it. I can come across as creepy, at least it seems like it. Sometimes, something asks to be waited on. An anticipation of confluence? Interstellar paths to cross? Or for two things to line up. The thing about waiting, is that it is interminably hard on my patience. The longer the wait, the longer the fidget, the more the drain on focus, the increase of fomo.

And only, just only, if the capture is in the right place for them to both co-exist. Then the wait is just ok. But it is still a wait and still has that suck factor to it.
