Unforgiving
Tuesday, October 23, 2007
Have you over noticed how unforgiving some things can be? Take trains for instance; they are just plain hateful. You make one mistake like leaving your apartment one minute late or choosing one route over another only to get caught by a light, or the worst (today’s problem) your pants leg snags on your bike as you are parking and it sets into play a domino effect of about five bikes tumbling over while tearing your new pants at the same time. Of course that’s when inevitably the train pulls up and you know that you are going to miss it. I didn’t miss it today because I hauled it across the bike lot, up the stairs, across the station, and down the stairs FIGHTING to make that train. I’m a fighter and that man knew not to pull away without me. He saw the determination in this girl. He knew that I had made the mistake of arriving a minute too late (maybe he didn’t know about me knocking down all the bikes), but he saw that I wasn’t giving up to make that train.

And yes, he did hold the train for me.
