Someday

The following is from a personal journal entry written 7–25–2012.

Someday. A word of both hope and hindrance. Hope, because it offers promise of a future in which the irritants of the present are no longer in existence. It doesn’t matter if those current irritants are external pressures or interior demons. What matters is that with no actual requirement of immediate action one can envision a time of clarity and utopia. A time where the now is no longer, and since the now seems unbearable, there must be in place a point of time to which the days are marching toward that offers beauty, peace, and an un-named betterness.

The quandary lies in the fact that there is in fact no requirement of immediate action. There is where the hindering aspect settles in and plants the seeds of destruction. Without some course of action or correction the mythical someday can never actualize. The irritants will not, can not just de-materialize on their own. A cleaning must take place, a scrubbing and scouring that tears away the old, allowing an eroding of the old barriers and structures. Absent this removal, the re-building can’t commence.

It is all well and good to dream of a someday. Some days it is that dream alone that allows us to wade through the every day monotony of life. But, the dream must not be expected to materialize on its own. If this is done, then someday may simply morph into never.
