advice
this past weekend at R & C's wicked fun wedding, R's sweet yet terribly bearish father gave me some advice.
after asking me where i wanted to be in five years...why i wasn't hooked up...and did I want kids, he said that if i wanted kids, i should do it soon.
That wasn't the advice.
His advice was that it was okay to settle. That I should settle. That 80% was good enough because you could always do it again - but if you want kids, well, there's a window.
I'm not sure what upset me so much about that little pearl of wisdom. That he believed it...or that one day I might realize he was right.
