People do loooooove their opposites and absolutes. Either things will go well or I’ll fall into abject poverty. I’ll either win the lottery or be forced to slave at a low wage job forever. I’ll either find the woman of my dreams or I’ll have to settle for whoever comes along, because being lonely is…
*9 women can’t make a baby in a month *I’m dancing as fast as I can *Patience is a virtue *A watched pot never boils We have a lot of ways to say that it takes however long it takes to get the end result. That doesn’t make it any easier on us or make…
