Maybe running is the answer. Here again you can run away instead of to, but it all depends on circumstance and context.

The sense I have these days is that life is too short to want and to want and to want but to stand still and wait for what you want. Life doesn't run toward you, but rather, you run toward it and face it head on. This is how we move. We move in skips, leaps, jumps, and when we need to, we move fast - we run and we chase.

We are too old now for hide and seek, as I may have said already, so it's time to seek and to seek, that is to go and to find what it is exactly that we want.

I have little if any time for people who don't know what they want. I'm getting bored. I'm bored with indecision. Decisive action is necessary - I'm bored. I'm tired of inaction. I started this blog as a sort of call to arms, not to just write, because i think writing does and can change the world (this i say as a writer and a professor), but as a call to actually live in the Now. It's high time we stopped worry about moral absolutes in a world where nothing is black and white, where everything is all shades of grey - and we live in that grey, and it's high time we grew comfortable with it, because ultimately, we have been here long enough. So what are you going to do about it? A skip? Run? Some movement anyway, however small - maybe toward a lover, or would be, maybe to requite, but whatever you do - i'm all for it.

Inaction and apathy wear thin and have grown boring, even to this GenXer.
