Traffic!

My brain feels like the 93 and Rt 3 split during rush hour...congested and slow.  In traffic, there usually is a wide variety of responses from the people who are stuck.  There are the people who are completely content with the traffic, they know it is coming and are prepared to sit and wait.  That or they have found some good music and are in no rush to get home.

Then there are people who are just angry.  They will do whatever is necessary to get the 'eff' out of the situation they are in.  They drive a little crazy, tend to use fingers they shouldn't use in public, and probably aren't that fun to be in conversation with.

We also have the group that are stressed out.  Not necessarily upset, but just stressed.  Maybe they need to get somewhere at a certain time and they are not sure if they are going to make it. They constantly check every device they have to see what time it is, switching from watch, to the dashboard, to the cell phone...trying to see which time will be more conducive to them arriving on time.

I have put entirely too much time into this analogy and really have probably confused myself more by trying to explain it.  Part of my brain right now is jamming out to a great song and has no need to rush, just wants to enjoy the ride.  Another part is ticked and at a situation that it can't really control...and there's another part that continues to look at the clock and stress itself out.  Again, I'm pretty sure none of this is going to make sense to anyone else, let alone myself...I would just love some clarity...if only for a moment, so I know it exists.



just a little clarity.
