Point of NO RETURN
Have you ever reached that point of NO RETURN? That point where you know you have to keep going no matter what. Well yesterday I reached that point. I had just gotten off from work, and had to walk a few blocks in order to go to a CPR class, because I do not have a car. I was already running late, but then I got another surprise to add on top of the pressure of making it on time. So I started semi running because I only had like fifteen minutes to get there. All of a sudden I get a feeling in my groin area. The first thing that I think about is "GOSH DARNIT why did I not use the bathroom before I left work". So I start running, and looking around there is nothing but houses, so I have to keep running. What sane person is going to let a hysterical black man into their house? As I am running I remember that there is a 7/11 a few blocks down, but I also think they probably do not have bathrooms. But i just keep running, and I finally make it there. I go in, kind of already knowing what i was going to hear, asking if they have a bathroom only to hear that "no" I was expecting. Having wasted about twenty five precious seconds I wanted to pee on the side of their buidling. So I run across the street into the first open door that I saw. This place is super tight and narrow and I assume that they do not have one either but I ask anyways. Again "no" but I do hear "try and go one door down". I move as quickly as I can. Now I am thinking to myself if I pee on myself, I will just quit at life in general. I scurry to the next door, and while there are people inside it is closed. And who in their right mind is going to open the door for a panicking black man? I run into a small apartment complex, thinking I might just have to drain the main vein here. But then I think I do not want to get arrested for exposing myself, so I take off running. I have reached the point of no return, I have to keep going, I cannot stop or that is it for me. At that point I cannot hold it, I feel like I am letting it go. Now I am thinking I am about to pee on myself, seriously, this is how it all goes down. Basically I am running a forty yard dash, and if I do not make it will be the biggest fail of my life. To my surprise I see the building that I need to go to, but I know that I cannot slow down or stop, so I just keep running. That was my moment of reaching the Point of NO RETURN, what is yours?
Let me also add that I am man enough to admit that I almost peed on myself, I am sure most people have been in a situation like that before, and some of you grown people have actually peed on yourself, and being drunk is not an excuse.
