I survive at the edges of your eyesight

30DBC: "Do you consider yourself a patient person? How easy or difficult is it for you to wait for something? Does a delayed reward feel more or less satisfying than an immediate reward?"

I waited 17 years for a plant to bloom.

I've waited 20 years for a friend to call.

I've waited a lifetime for many things.

No, I'm not patient, just resigned to being depressed, at times wishing for nothing so that something, anything, will brighten my life.

I've lived off crumbs, physically, financially, but mostly emotionally.

It's hard for me to wait. I'm used to it.

Am I ever satisfied? I'm a creature of Spring and Autumn, of dawn and dusk but mostly twilight.

I've survived in the shadows where others perished.

I'm a child of the half-light.

But I'm not patient.

No, just resigned.
