Oh, you young ladies just dont have the patience and thats all you need.
When I was in my teens, everything was laid out exactly how it was supposed to
happen and we just had to go day by day and wait. You got up, went to school,
came home, helped with chores, did your schoolwork, ate dinner, and went to
bed. Thats what I focused on every day, and if I had one ounce of free time
for any boy to come visit, I had to wait for him to get permission from his
father, finish his chores, and walk two or three miles to my front porch. She
laughed. By then, it was time to prepare for the next day and go to bed. But
everything we did took time. Thats just something you all seem to think you
dont have enough of.
We dont, I protested. It seems like when I get home, I have
just enough time to eat, go over the work I bring home, and take a bath.
Thats in your head. The best thing about being young is that
time is on your side, but its only on your side for a little while. Dont
spend it all doing needless things and rushing through. You got fast food,
remote controls, next-day service, and a ton of other devices that make you
feel rushed, but you cant fall for that. When all is said and done, it will be
about what you gave and what you built from a human standpoint, not how many
hours you put in or how many times you came back late from lunch.
--Camika Spencer; dialogue between two older and younger
females in the book, Cubicles
The world you want to live in and that you need to live in, needs you to create
it - it needs your input. The world needs to hear what you have to say. The
last word has not been spoken...the last word has not been spoken. ~Beah
