Absolutely. Fucking. Nothing.

Sometimes I like to believe this is a lie…

It is a lie!

But it’s like putting your money in an IRA or something. Eventually, you’re gonna get a lot back but you’re gonna hafta wait for it. And there’s usually a penalty for taking it out early.

Patience & kindness go hand-in-hand. Love, too.

But, yeah … there’s no denying that there are some hurty parts before that happens. :/
