What Are You Waiting For?

You remember the feeling, don’t you? That sense of being on the edge of something—back when life felt like a countdown to an explosion of possibility. You swore you’d do it, that you’d go for it, that you wouldn’t let time slip away.

But then, life happened. The clock kept ticking. And now here you are, asking yourself, how did the years go by?

Tick tock. Tick tock. The clock isn’t stopping. Neither is life. So why are you?

Why have you let the minutia of daily life hijack your ambitions, your dreams, your world tour of possibilities? You didn’t plan for this—so why are you still waiting for a detour back to the life you actually wanted?

How did the years go by? How did the plans you swore you’d make happen turn into wistful what-ifs? One minute, you’re surrounded by possibilities—what an amazing time, what a family!—and the next, it’s only you, wondering where the time went.

Look at your watch now.

Born to Blossom, Bloom to Perish

Somewhere along the way, you started waiting. For a sign. For the right moment. For permission. But time doesn’t wait. No matter what you do—or don’t do—things will change around you. People move on. Opportunities vanish. Stability erodes. Until you’re left alone with nothing but regret, staring down the space where your dreams should have been.

Like a cat in heat stuck in a moving car, you feel restless, trapped—moving but out of control. You keep telling yourself the same excuses, replaying them like a looping chorus. The same fears, the same doubts, the same tired mantra of 'not yet.' You know what you want by heart. So why are you standing in one place? Why are you waiting for life to happen to you when you could be making it happen for you?

Are you afraid of failing? Afraid of looking stupid? Afraid of making the wrong choice? The truth is, there is no right choice, just the choices you do or don’t make. If you stay frozen in place, you’ll still be choosing—choosing regret, choosing stagnation, choosing to be left behind by your own potential.

What If You Took the Chance?

There will never be a perfect time. There will never be a guaranteed outcome. You never know—but what if it could be great? Take a chance 'cause you might grow.

Naturally, it’s terrifying. What if you fail? What if you do it alone? What if they say that you’re a climber? But, seriously—who really cares? Because it’s your life, and waiting won’t make it any easier.

You’re still a badass. Still magnetic. Still capable. You’re still capable. You’re still worthy of a million-dollar contract (or at least the life you actually want). But if you don’t move, you’ll never get it.

The Fear of Starting Late

Maybe you’re thinking, 'But I should have done this ten years ago. I should have started when I was younger.' Guess what? You didn’t. And in ten more years, you’ll wish you had started now. The time is going to pass anyway. There is only one guarantee: the regret of never trying will always outweigh the fear of starting late. The time is going to pass anyway. What you do with it is still up to you. Your moment will run out, but that moment is still here right now.

Look at Your Watch Now

It’s ticking. This moment will run out. Take a chance, you stupid hoe.

Because if you don’t bring yourself to life—no one else will. No one is coming to rescue you. No one is going to live for you. It’s you. It’s always been you.

So what are you waiting for? A sign? A permission slip? A perfect moment?

Here it is. This is your sign. Now go.

So what are you waiting for?
