in the meantime

I want the most out of something. I realized that while making popcorn this afternoon. At the risk of the early poppers, I keep cooking the popcorn until I sense that almost every kernel is popped. Sometimes that means some burning, though I try extremely hard to avoid that. In essence, I want perfection, all the kernels popped in all their buttery goodness.

I suppose I think this way in all the other areas of my life as well.
