"Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over. "

Someone told me “You can tell how patient a person is or is not by observing the pace at which they eat their food.” I guess that means I’m impatient as hell because I don’t even eat my food, I inhale it.
Oh wow…
Maybe there’s some truth to this. Because I eat slow as hell (and I don’t even try to). But I’m always the last one at the table to finish.
And I am considered a patient individual.
I can get with this.
As long as it’s the right man.
