Some Good things come to those who Wait

It’s been twelve years without travel abroad or relocating either one ☝🏽 of us that we hadn’t seen each other. He took me to his church, I took him to mine, he took me to a ⚾️ Chicago Cubs game where a friend of mine was working 😶‍🌫️, and he took me to a movie 🍿 theatre I think I remember.

But 12 years past till Sunday 2024 of last week (today is 7/30/24), and things were completely unabashed and natural; zero time had passed!

I’m still really in like with a man online who has been my “mate” since 2021.

But Jimmy told me to call him whenever and I’m just like: Why Ever Not.

... Read moreIn a world that's always rushing, the idea of waiting can seem outdated. However, patience often yields the most meaningful connections. Many people have stories similar to the author's, where waiting has led to wonderful reunions and deeper connections with loved ones. Take the time to reflect on relationships that have endured the test of time, whether they are friendships, family ties, or romantic connections. It’s important to cherish the times spent apart and appreciate the moments that bring us back together, like shared experiences such as attending sports events or enjoying movies together. Such moments not only rekindle old bonds but can also bring newfound joy and excitement. Moreover, the rise of online relationships showcases how technology allows us to maintain connections over vast distances. These relationships can flourish even when spent behind screens, proving that love and friendship know no bounds. Building on these connections often requires patience, understanding, and a willingness to invest time into meaningful communication. Ultimately, some of the best things in life truly come to those who wait, highlighting the importance of savoring experiences and valuing the people who come into our lives, no matter how much time has passed.

what you UNlearn in your 20’s is just as important as what you ✨do✨ learn! asking ourselves what toxic patterns or unhealthy coping mechanisms we’ve adopted over time is such a crucial part of becoming who we want to be ⤵️ you can’t adopt new habits and patterns while you’re still unaware of and
