the wheels in my mind go round and round..

i had a coupla thoughts on the bus home (it's a long-ish ride, and i usually get quite a bit of thinking done). the first had to do with something i saw from my window: two huge bald eagles, gorgeous, chasing down one little duck. the duck was a quarter of the size/wingspan of these two big guys, and it was trying its very best, flapping frantically, to escape its hunters. last i saw, it was making a valiant effort, and was still alive - i sure hope he got away. but i know such is the circle of life. i wonder why we don't have any enemies to keep us in check but ourselves..?

second, i was thinking more about the fact some of my friends have expressed their concern to me abouty my progress with regard to getting over my last relationship, which, admittedly, ended some time ago. well, i have recently decided that, given it was my first long-term, ultra-serious relationship, i had to get used to being a "girlfriend" in my own time (i don't believe i was given a fair shot at that, btw). same goes for moving on. it's so relative, so personal, so individual in terms of how long it takes, i don't think it's fair to tell someone they're taking too long. yes, my friends are well-meaning, and i love them dearly, but this is going to happen in my own time.

and it will happen.
