There is no commodity more precious, not even money, than TIME.
I shall continue to trust people, even though life continues to show me that, when the chips are all in the middle of the table, most people, even most of those special few to whom you entrusted your heart and your life fully, are not quite as wonderful, and not quite as loyal, as you trick yourselves into thinking they are.
A precious few are to-the-mat loyal - agreed - but life has taught me, time and again, that's it's easy to be "loyal" to someone, when 95-plus percent of the time, your interests are aligned.
And yet, I shall continue to look forward, not because I haven't allowed myself to have years stolen from me - I have (and, admittedly, not learning certain lessons earlier is largely my fault) . . . but because it's practical.
As George Marshall eloquently put it:
"When a thing is done . . . it's done.
Don't look back.
Look forward to your next objective."
And that's the way life goes.
Up and downs, all to be learned from, and each one of them to be taken, one moment at a time.
"Remeber the good times," as television's greatest-ever show reminded us in its final minute.
But it's still fucking challenging as fuck to force the mind from thinking about all of those stolen years.
