please make sure that wherever you’re at in life, you don’t treat it like a transitory period. don’t waste your college years wishing to already be graduated & have a job. don’t waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with. if/when those things come, they will come in due time and they will be good. but there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better. while it’s important to better yourself and reach for your goals, don’t neglect the present because that’s where you are now and it’s your now that determines your future.
Parents zone out while little kids are telling them every detail of their little lives and then wonder why they can’t get them to share when they’re teenagers.
For the record, they were arguing over *whether or not they should get married*. She was pro, he was con, saying that if they loved each other the ring and the marriage certificate were unnecessary, that their love would be the commitment they needed. This was a fight they’d had for weeks. He didn’t just propose to shut her up in a totally unrelated argument…. him proposing was also him saying “you’re right, you won the argument” and that’s why this is cute.
be patient with your life, you do have time. happiness isn’t going to be an overnight thing. you aren’t going to wake up one morning feeling light as a feather in the exact place you need to be. life is a journey and i’ve gotta tell you: it’s going to take a while and it’s going to be hard.
in our world today we are taught to believe that life is a linear course with no stops made along the way. but that just is not true. we are supposed to make little pitstops that don’t necessarily lead anywhere. these pitstops, though small or even annoying, can change not only our lives but those around you. while the world moves quickly around you, don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers. it will do you a lot of good to slow down, friend.
