Eventually, eventually happens
Eventually everyone has to clip their finger nails. Whether you’re a once-a-weeker, or just whenever you catch them on something, everyone has to cut their fingernails (except those strange and depressing figures in Guinness World Record books).
The same could be said for “catching up on life.” You put off grocery shopping or laundry and eventually you have like 10 things to do and only enough time for 8 of them. Those things need to be done. There’s no getting around them.
Life is filled with those things you have to do, but don’t consciously think about until whatever errand or appointment you have, arrives. Check your prostate, clip your sideburns, shave your legs, clean your bathroom, dentist visit, or simply brushing your teeth every night before bed.
Like your fingernails, you’re constantly trying to get on top of whatever little “things” you have to do. Sometimes, you think ‘OK, I have nothing to do,’ but the moment you think that, something else percolates into your brain and you HAVE to do that too. You just gotta do stuff. It’s called life.
Some people bite their nails or pick at them when they’re nervous. It doesn’t matter because unless you have a serious oral fixation with your nails, they will have to be cut. Just like you’ll have to get haircut, eventually. Or you’ll have to eventually do karaoke (even when you tell everyone you’re awful). Everything comes to pass, eventually.
Even death.
Except, with the distance on the look of death, procrastinating isn’t such a bad thing.
