Unavoidable Cycle

Relationships are like taking a bus, when you’re waiting for it, it never comes. Instead, those that you don’t want to take stops in front of you, more than once. They come earlier, and way faster than the one you’re waiting for.

You somehow just wished that you can just hop on to any of those buses and pray that they’ll bring you to your destination. Not possible, yet we still dream of it once in awhile. Sometimes you might get into the wrong bus, and by the time you’ve realized you’re so far away from the station and got to start all over again. And at times you just feel like staying on the bus and see where it takes you. Yes the journey might be interesting, some new places, some new people, but end of the day, it’s the wrong bus and you’ve got to get down.

Then you wait, and wait, for the right bus to come around. It might take a little longer now that you’ve missed the earlier one when you’re on the wrong bus, but it will come. And when you’re finally on the right bus, you’ll feel so relieved and happy and the wait suddenly doesn’t feel so bad anymore.

Well, it doesn’t mean that when you’re on the right bus everything will be fine, but you’ve got to be patience, for example if there’s a lot of passenger in the bus, you’ve got to wait for a seat, or you’ve picked a bad spot and it’s freezing your ass out, you’ve just got to learn to accept it and eventually learn to not sit at that spot next time.

Because end of the day, you know this bus takes you home, and home is where you want to be.
