Waiting

    I, like I'm sure most people, hate waiting. It can be boring, long, and if your impatient like I am, it can just feel like a waste of your time. Whenever I'm waiting for something, I always feel like I have a million things I can do with that time. But instead, I tap my foot and cross my arms and stay bored.

    

    Although, when you think about it, waiting is simply an obstacle you have to come over to achieve satisfaction. For instance, perhaps the worst thing in the world is waiting for a flight. If your parents are like mine, we show up at the airport what feels like 10 hours before our flight is supposed to leave. There's not much to do in the airport but sit and eat and sleep. It might be the worst kind of waiting, but once it's finally over, alll you feel is excitement and you get to travel to wherever your going. The process before seems awful, but it all becomes worth it shortly.

    Didi and Gogo don't have the luxury of playing on their phone or getting some food to pass the time, but instead they have eachother. They're fortunate to have eachother, because I think that waiting by yourself is the most painfully awkward thing ever. Even though they're having meaningless conversation with eachother, they learn more and more about one another every conversation they have. And when the waiting is over, the feeling that they'll feel will make all of the waiting worth it, and perhaps they'll bond over that experience.

    Watching the play, and anticipating the ending, I'm not sure that the Godot character is ever going to show up, or perhaps they're even at the wrong place. But all of the painful waiting that they'll have done will not be for nothing.
