File Loading...

Ever waited for something to load? Of course you have. 

That email that you can see is there but it just wont open no matter how many times you try.  Its a grand conspiracy against humanity, the day when you really need it to load it will never happen, an attachment, a letter, an email.  Its not something no ones ever noticed before, I'm aware of that, and its not a phenomenon only related to Internet usage, the washing machine that doesn't end, the electric doors that wont let you out, the traffic light that stays on red for an eternity, makes me wonder how much time do I spend waiting.  Waiting for the answer from somewhere else, waiting for confirmation, a sign a moment where someone else will tell me that it's going to be okay. 

How much time do I spend waiting for my laptop to turn on so that I feel connected with the world? or for the video to buffer so that I can stop thinking about what's going on around me. 

How long do I want to wait for someone else to tell me that I'm doing the right thing?
