Do you ever think about how Jeff Bezos could feed literally more than a million food insecure people while losing an hour’s wage but you have to tell yourself no when you want to buy a coffee but can’t because that’s all your rent money?
So this little kid donated a book to the library a couple weeks ago.
They’ve been coming into the library every so often to look proudly at their book on display and tell anyone who’ll listen about how they donated THAT book, it has a sticker the librarian had them pick out that they got to sign their name on in the inside cover and everything!!!! (I saw them once excitedly insist a high schooler grab the book and open it to see the sticker, much to the high schooler’s amusement, lol).
Today they came into the library to ask me where their book was, ‘cause they’d looked around the past little while and couldn’t find it anywhere.
“Ah, that’s ‘cause it’s out right now,” I explained.
Their jaw dropped and their eyes went wide, “It’s out?!”
“Yep! It’s not here because it’s at somebody’s house right now.”
“AT THEIR HOUSE?!”
They started practically vibrating in excitement.
“Yep!”
“Like, for real?”
“Uh huh.” I grinned, “It’s the second time it’s been taken out too.”
“TWICE?! It’s been taken out TWICE already?! Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!!!!”
Something tells me that’s all they’ll be talking about tonight at dinner. lol
In order to make a relationship last, you really have to flow with a person as they change. Give them space. My friend always told me about his grandfather who was with his wife for 60 years before she passed. His grandfather said that through all that time, his wife changed so much it felt like he had been with 8 different people by the end. But he said the secret to making it last was that through all those changes, he never suffocated his wife with his own idea of who he expected her to be. Rather he loved, fully, every new woman she became.
chewbacca was definitely the best man when han and leia got married and he gave a long speech of wookiee noises that next to nobody could understand and han was definitely trying not to cry the whole time
