  1. We wait so long, in that expectation of the inevitable: death. Life is but the delay to that moment. It is meaningless, a moment. And time is but an element of seconds and hours and each day that could be it. And we treasure that delay. We adore it, worship it. Delay is our only means of love and happiness.

  4. i hate it when people procrastinate. procrastination is the worst thing anyone could ever do. i try not to procrastinate too much but even i sometimes cannot avoid it. i think it’s because procrastination is a daily part of everyone’s life and because i am a very lazy person.

  6. I delay a lot. I procrastinate. Everything I do is wrong and the things I do are delayed so that I can not seem wrong for as long as possible. Maybe I just don’t know what I’m doing, or how to do it, but everything might come to me at some point. Delaying is in my blood, in my families too. Maybe I’ll try and delay dying.

  8. Yes, there was a delay. She spoke the words, but he could not hear them. Stupid phone company, she thought. 99% coverage isn’t enough when you’re in the 1% next to a barnyard and two dozen cows. He had only an idea of the part of town she was in and he couldn’t hear her yell the name of the street she passed through the crackle of static.

  10. Pausing for a brief moment in time. It doesn’t matter anyway. What’s one moment in the grand scheme of things? It’s always good to take a bit of time to reflect before you take the plunge.

  12. I held off. I couldn’t go through with it. It was impossible, yet I had to do it. I had to grin and bear it. So, with teeth gritted and with my will to resist shattered, I began the slow process of grinding my soul down with inane homework…

  14. there was a delay in the flight so I sat at the gate and wondered why I was taking this trip at all. It didn’t make sense. I wasn’t in love with this girl, why were we going to Mars together? To save the world from Martians. A world that can only be saved by our love. BUT I DIDN”T LOVE HER! So what was I to do. I ran.

  15. Why delay everything that you have to say in the world? You’ll just end up wasting time, and life. Lose happiness and love. Dont delay ever. Follow your heart, and go on as you want. Delaying gives you time to decide if you really want to do it, chances are you’ll back out, or wait one second to long. Not the best choice in the world. Go forward, dont stop.

  16. I keep delaying moving on with my writing, my art, my life. I am afraid my life is passing by without anything to show for it and then I am afraid I am missing the life I am living because I am worrying about not accomplishing anything more than what I am doing now.

  17. I don’t want to delay my weight loss any longer. I want to get this weight off as soon as I can. I don’t expect to delay it any more. Just do it don’t delay today what you might have to do tomorrow. Today begins today no delay.

  18. The airport was almost empty. It was 3 in the morning. However, the one janitor who was waxing the floor never took his eyes off me. I would have felt violated if I didn’t want a comfortable bed to sleep in. But Janet was beside me, drooling on my shoulder. I resigned to get more comfortable in my airport chair.

  19. I walked up the street and looked either side. There was a train running across the tracks and it was holding me up. I then noticed there was a cart about three hundred yards that was a flatbed. Being the time-saving dude I am, broke out in a run, intercepted the cart, slammed into it, and got killed by the wheels underneath. one of the offciers commented it was one of the moste horrible acidents he’s been on.

  20. Every second counts, for better or for worse. One second, one minute can change your life. That light hits red, you might be late, that light hits green you end up dead. Can one second change your life? It just might.

  21. She couldn’t keep his stalled to much longer. There wasn’t enough time for Ashley to get out of his room. They needed to get those test answers.

    Anna had no other choice. She leaned forward and planted a big fat kiss on Brian Ghallager’s face. He kissed like a moron– trying for second base while her mouth was closed; at least Ashley got her A.

  22. One day, I headed to the airport for my flight out to Vermont. You see, I was extremely excited to go to Vermont since it was Fall and the leaves were going to be turning. Once I made it to the airport, I discovered, to my great disgust, that my flight was to be delayed! I could not believe it. I threw a fit right then and there, I was so mad. They gave me four first class tickets to Vermont for the next day.

  27. I dont even know what to say. I’m delayed. Held back. There’s nothing I can do about it. Sitting in my car, the lines separating me from everyone else… everyone else who is also delayed. Orange. lower case. What am I even doing here… waiting… waiting…

  28. I can’t stop. More like I can’t start. It piles up until I’m overwhelmed. Then I do everything, forced. For a brief second, I’m free. Then it starts again and instantly, I feel the same way. I should really stop procrastinating.

  29. when someone say that I have to wait for the things that I want I don’t know what to think. This delay seems to me completely unneeded, I would much rather go on and strive to achieve what I want than to wait for someone else agenda, I just don’t like to wait for things. I don’t find delays to be fun necessary or anything of the like

  31. delay, ah, that is what we are. we are delayed, we are decaying, we are done, we are coming back together, but the boundries always stop us, making us see the line clearly defined, keeping us apart. and I wish we could come back together, cross over and crush this line.

  33. The girl looked at her watch.
    7:30am.
    She would be late for work the 3rd time this week.
    She silently prayed that the old saying wasn’t true. That the third time really wasn’t the charm.

  34. My thoughts have suddenly become delayed as of late. I think it could be from my consumption of marijuana and alcohol, but that is only some of the time. Most of the time I believe that my thoughts have become delayed because of my previous dealings with expressing my thoughts. I was ridiculded buy my own father, my family, and because of that I have started to over think things and I have become increasingly unlikely to talk to anyone.

  36. The delay as more than I could bear. The continual rain was causing all transport in the city to back up and traffic was at a literal standstill. IF he was still waiting for me – then it was only beause he loved me… really really loved me.

  38. I don’t know why you would bother to delay? It’s such a waste of time and when life is such an abridged affair anyway, why would you want to delay anymore? This brings me to my next point, I should stop delaying from my essay…
