Wrong Stop!

took a bus home tonight and got off two stops too late thanks to my intense focus on the game i was playing. as a result, i had to walk two stops back through the dark quiet path and walk round to the front too to collect my dinner from the food stall. not that i wanted to, but for the lack of buses and cabs in the area.

story of my life, i realize -  spent too much time doing unnecessary things, only to look up and realize that life has passed me by and i've missed my stop. it's not so bad when there's a short way back to catch up or if there were another bus or cab along the way but when there is none, it is a long and tired route to just get back to where i can pick up from. 

sometimes, i enjoy the solitary moments where i'm on  my own and my thoughts and space belong to just me. but once in awhile, i start feeling lonely and frustrated and i start to think how foolish i have been to not keep a look out for where i should have stopped and perhaps, the next time i miss my stop, it may cost me much more.
