Waiting for a good thing

I remember as a child being so excited to go to an amusement park that I didn’t want to do anything but wait for the time to pass until the day we went to the park had arrived.

Waiting for a date like your wedding (for some of us), or a big vacation, or another thing you’re looking forward to feels paralyzing to me most bizarrely.

In the past, I would crack through and find a way to work. Anything to take my mind off the time passing makes the time pass faster. Funny how that works.
