The Bus

Some people are "ambitious." Driven. They take control. Steer. The make plans; set goals. Raise families. Achieve. One day they could be crossing a street and a bus could smash them dead.

Some people are "followers." They're not dumb. Street smart perhaps. They follow trends. Raise families. Ahieve some. One day they could be crossing a street and a bus could smash them dead.

Some people are "slackers." Responsibility what? If it feels good, do it. Impulse. Procrastination. One day they could be crossing a street and a bus could smash them dead.

I see myself in each of the quoted descriptors. I'm on this journey where I'm working toward goals, but slowly. Sometimes I feel like, "What's the point?" when you never know when that bus might come? Not that I dwell on that. I rarely think of death at all. I have thoughts of doing things today, impulsively, because why put them off, but at the same time will find every reason to put other things off. I see that it's most important to me to have meaningful relationships with my friends and the people I spend my life with. This is success and the achievement of a goal to me. This energy is lasting. The things I do in terms of acts are not so in my mind.
