I was in a train station in Spain, wanting to go to Mexico. I was in a long line waiting to board the train, but I had no ticket. I thought: everything always turns out fine for me, all I have to do is wait.
After much waiting I grew restless. I decided to ask about the ticket. They told me to buy it at the ticket office. There was no ticket office, I searched frantically around to no avail. I regretted my passive attitude.
