Just the other day, I was waiting for test results to come back for a test I had taken. However, they did not come back immediately like they were supposed to. Slowly, I waited minute by minute, I grew restless, and frustrated, until like a boiling pot I couldn't take it any more. Somehow, I felt like someone had trapped me inside a room and I couldn't get out. I felt like I had to get out but didn't know where or what to do. For some reason, it felt like it had seized control over my peace of mind, and I was so resentful that I couldn't stop it from affecting me.
So I tried to escape and drive away. However, maybe halfway on my way home, I realized that I had acted on impulse, and needed to return to find out my test results. The realization that something important was waiting for me had awakened me out of my desperation, and I finally drove back to find my results waiting for me.
Sometimes, I wish I had the power to see that I was not trapped, and feel frightened and powerless, but that is exactly how I felt.
