Complete

The beginning and end are both great unknowns. The story is actually without either and only creates an illusion of completeness.

On the journey

It seems I've lost the beginning and don't know where to find it anymore.

Heroines

In the books they are always beautiful or at least, the words used to describe them are.
In Life, we are short, tall, fat, thin, fair, dark, pretty, or ugly.
And we are all still the heroines of our own stories.

The thing about climbing the ladder

You don't have to do everything but neither is your time your own.
You have more power but you can't be a control freak.
You could do it much better but you can't do it yourself.
It is easy to make changes but teaching takes time.

Impatience

Yesterday, last hour, a minute ago.

Everything was supposed to happen in the past.

Nothing for now.

Nothing for later.

We don't want to wait,

so we fight ourselves and everyone else;

flap about disconsolately; wonder about the meaning of life

Where are the fantasies of meandering,

when people want to begin with endpoints? 

Non memories of ecstatic moments,

a blur that ends in a sigh.

The future stretches ahead,

a large room filled with mementos and trophies.
