What does Eddie Pinero mean by 'waiting for the right time'?
There's a notebook in the top drawer of a desk that hasn't been moved in years. Second drawer down, left side, under things that used to matter. It's black, leather, still stiff at the spine like it's never been asked to open all the way. If you did open it, you'd find one sentence written slowly and carefully. Quote, this is where everything changes. End quote. And then nothing. No second page or mistakes. No proof that anything ever followed. Just the idea of a beginning. He remembers the night he bought it. Sitting on the edge of his bed, turning it over in his hands like it meant something.
And for a moment it did.
So much promise. A symbol for everything that could be. There was a feeling, not loud or dramatic, just this quiet certainty that life could split. Right here. That fork in the road. There was a belief that if he started, really started, things would be different. He even turned to page two. Held the pen above it, let it hover long enough to almost become real. And then... Not like this. Not tonight. I want to take my time. I want to do it right. He looked around the room and thought, I'll wait for the right energy, the right clarity, the right version of himself to show up first. You know the things we tell ourselves. Because in his mind, it was going to be a perfect day. Clarity, no distractions. That energy you get from the feeling of a new pursuit, right?
Time stretching out in front of you like it finally made sense. He closed the notebook and set it in the drawer. It was going to be such a perfect day. That day that never came. The next morning, the sun came up. Didn't feel like a beginning. Felt like traffic. Felt like emails, like small things stacking into a day that didn't really feel worthy of something big. This was the ordinary. Nothing to celebrate here. So we waited again. Not out of fear. This isn't a monster in the closet thing. It's just out of respect. Maybe that's the best way to put it. I don't want to rush it. I want to do this justice. This is going to change everything. Let's give it the respect it deserves. And that's the part that hides. Because hesitation dressed up as intention can pass for discipline.
So the drawer stayed closed and the idea stayed perfect. untouched, unchallenged, unreal. In his mind, it still glistened. It was such a perfect day. That day that never came. Years didn't pass all at once. That's not how they slip by. They elude us, quietly, in between routines that felt productive enough to avoid asking harder questions. Every so often he would open that drawer. He'd look in there. Not to write. Just to check. To remind himself that it was still there. That he hadn't given up. No, not him. He could start. But not yet. And that was enough. It was enough to keep the story alive without ever having to live it. Because as long as it stayed untouched, it stayed perfect. No bad chapters. No doubt.
No proof or evidence that he wasn't who he imagined himself to be. Just potential. Preserved. Just possibility. In a glass casing. Waiting for a version of life that would finally feel worthy of it. Waiting. for what he knew would be such a perfect day. That day that never came. Now you've probably put this together. It's always easier to from the outside in, but he never did. He never realized that there is no day that arrives on a platter, clean, perfect. No morning where you wake up fully aligned, fully ready, without resistance. There is only this. There is this unfinished moment, this imperfect opening, this version of you as you are. The same kind of moment he had that night with the pen hovering over page two, the same one most people step away from.
How can hesitation masquerade as discipline?
Everyone has that drawer. Everyone has that notebook. Just different targets, different goals, different dreams tucked away.
Because starting, it does something dangerous. It makes it real. And once it's real, it can be wrong. Once it's real, it can be criticized. It can be messy. It can fail. But we forget once it's real, it can also become something. And that's the trade-off. You either protect an idea of perfection, or you build something that can tangibly matter, change your life, affect the world around you.
