Realizations, or something like it.

I keep writing about the big change that I'm waiting for, the change that I'm hoping for, the change that I'm hoping to cause. But today I was thinking about how I was waiting for the change, and besides applying to jobs like crazy, I haven't really been doing much to cause the change. I've just been waiting for it to hit me, sweep me up and take me away. And it's not coming.

I think a huge majority of people in this world are in the same place as me in this respect. People waiting for the big change, the climatic Hollywood moment were everything changes. And this waiting is how life passes them, us, by. We are so preoccupied with something miraculous arriving on our doorstep to transform our lives for good that we miss the ride. We're so busy waiting for the change to come that it goes unrealized that we, in fact, need to cause it. I think I'm becoming dangerously close to sounding like a cliche, but it's hard to express without the typical "Life is short, make it count" spiel. Because, if it's going to happen, I have to do it, I have to make it happen.

Okay, just a short blurb about my being a Hallmark card.
