My 14-year old son was asking about the different car brands on the way to school. And he said, “well cars became the norm when you were a kid, right?” I was like, “um, what?” “People in that time didn’t all have cars yet?” 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ They did son, 1984 wasn’t that long ago.

"It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment." – @JamesClear
