The vacation you plan for and want, is never the one you do eventually go on. In the end, nothing beats the feeling of being in the comfort of your own bed.

How much money is too much money before I run out of ways to spend it enjoyably?

So many times I run into this problem as well. I planned a vacation for months or maybe for a few weeks but at the last minute.. I ended up somewhere instead. The best vacation is in your own bed.  ;)

Put aside a bit for your bucket list. It can happen with persistent and commitment. It doesn't have to be an expensive vacation. It could just be a weekend getaway to a short distance. As long as you enjoy yourself and have fun.

Well, it depends on how the relationship/friendship was left or ended. Sometimes it's good to keep in touch with old friends or say "hi" if path crossed in the present. If you are referring to exes. I generally do not say "hi" to them only because its' weird.

There's no harm in letting go.

I've loved and let go. I only hope they've gotten as much out of it as I have.

When I was a kid I was motivated by freedom.
As a teenager I was motivated by money.
In my 20s, it was women.
By my 30s it was failure.
Now it's whether or not I'll be in bed by 9PM.

Self realization.

I thought if I surrounded myself with a certain type of people I would become more like them. I didn't.

You can't change the nature of the beast.

I haven't thought about you in years. There was no need to.

But I saw your sister had passed and I hoped for that fleeting moment you were doing well. And you have a daughter.

Love evolves over time. And though I no longer love you like how I did before, I care for you as one human being would another.

Be well.

Live in the moment. But when it's over, it's over. Don't dwell. Prepare to live the next moment instead.

What's in bold is good advice.  But I sometimes struggle with the "Don't dwell" part.  For myself, when I'm heavy in a moment, my mind is engulfed and dwells in that moment.  It's like I'm frozen, and it takes a couple of invisible self knuckles to the head to wake me up from that moment.  It takes awhile to move on.  But once I wake up and set my mind to moving on, I move on.

Rule of thumb to survive by.  Don't be a hopeless romantic type.  Our life is not like a hollywood movie kind of a script where we believed that if we would run to them while they board the last train out, they will somehow fall back into our arms. 

It is good to try if you want to witness the results for yourself but why? 

I'll tell you why.  I'm not a hopeless romantic kind of a person but I do want to see what the result would be had I try a movie script scene out in real life.  What this does is it gives you closer and with closer, you can easily move on because it is all that you can do and it is up to them to meet you half way but they don't want non of it so you walk the lonely road yourself. 

My problem is that I never love anyone enough to even try it.  Even if I do try it, I know myself that I'm just faking the funk to see if such experiment is working.  Even if it is working and she is willingly to forgive me, I'll just turn around and release her by the next day, the day after make up sex.

What an azzhole   :2funny:

Because you don't have enough to give love. You don't love yourself enough to give anybody any.

Can You live just to live? Are we foot notes in a far greater (endless even?) story?

My coworker's wife made him get rid of his collection of 80's toys, vintage whiskey bottles and books.

That will not be me.
