Its Just Not Fair...
"Sometimes you hate yourself. You feel mad at yourself. There are things you wish you can control. There are things that you wish that you can make so. But you realize that you can't really control everything you wish you want to happen or wish that it could be. You feel down. You feel terrible. You feel disgusted.
What you want out of life can not be offered to you as quickly as you wanted or in the way it should be presented. You wish that what you had could still happen. You wish that good moment or feeling would continue on. Time slowly takes it away, making you wait until the next time you can feel that special moment once again.
I want this. I want it now. Why can't I have it? Why can't I get it? Will it ever happen? I'm getting ready to give up hope..."
When does this never goes through someone's mind more than once a day? You wish you can have something that you desperately want. You wish that something you have done never happened. You wish that something you wish you can be could never happen to you. Your part in this world has yet to happen. For now, you wait as patient as you can. You go through life every day, waiting for something to happen. Sometimes working for it never works and you are left with nothing but experience for the next time something happens to you. Life is a journey. You gain experience from events and learn wisdom and lessons from people you meet. You grow alone. You learn alone. You journey alone until you meet someone or that special moment once again. You never know what will happen or when it will happen.
Just be patient...its easier said than done, sadly...

i think i know how you feel...im not sure...but i think... but the things...the circumstances, i want, i need, arent real...they cannot happen, they wont come if im patient, they wont come if i weight, they just sit, just beyond my fingertips, watching, smirking, waiting for me to give up i guess...
so, instead, i have lived most of my life trying to bring happiness to other people, to live up to expectations, and failing, to bring people joy, and failing, to impress people, and failing...and failing, and failing, and failing...all in the world i care about is seeing the people i care for happy, which is dangerous when you truly, honestly feel that the thing that would bring the people you love the most happyness, regardless of what they claim, is a world without you in it... i guess thats stupid and emo, sorry for troubleing you with it...

I sympathise with this piece, I really do. Having just turned 30, I feel like I've done a lot of waiting - but here I am, in rented student digs, living like I'm 19 (apart from not being able to drink as much). No house, no family.
Don't wait if you don't have a direction. Make a plan, set your course; it's ok if it will take years, even decades, but set yourself pointing in the right direction, else the longer you wait, the further off track you get. Keep your eye on where you want to be while you wait. If it's not getting closer, then ask yourself why. What can be done to move in that direction. Do you have to sacrifice something? Do you have to change?
Oh, and enjoy the good times en route. Try not to be sad when they don't last - at least you had them :)
Lol, do you know, I'm never sure whether you're being serious, or just artistic, but either way I do love how your work makes me think ^^

I know I face that and have before... I want a home of my own, a car that I don't fear will die on me... and a lot from life that the material things like homes and cars don't really mater much about... But all will come in time, and in the meantime, I remind myself to simply enjoy what I have here and now, to make the most of here and now.

I have to be the bastard who, with total understand of the quote and the picture, disagrees with it. I've certainly had this feeling, especially in regards to my girlfriend being seven states away, but there's nothing you can't do with enough effort. You can meet the right people with the right effort, and then they can take you places you couldn't get on your own. Nothing is out of your reach with patience and perseverance. The top didn't get to the top by magic, they did it by effort.
That being said, I certainly have felt like this before, and it's not a good feeling. I do my best to banish it when it comes along. It's self-perpetuating. Focus on something that makes you happy.

Ask-A-Ninja once said, "Never assume you're in control of anything. This is not to say that you CAN'T control anything, but even while you think you're in control of something, don't assume it's you controlling it."
Silly as he was being, it was also, in a way, profound. In this life, there's precious little that a person CAN control, and that insignificant bit is just a matter of hanging on to a the edge of a cliff; hard to make anything better from there, and letting go can only make things worse.
