There's this story about a man who has an argument with the love of his life. In a fit of rage he saddles up his horse and decides to leave to cool off. She tells him that if he is not back in 3 days she will be gone.
He wanders around for 2 days enjoying the solitude and comfort of nature and after the end of the 2nd day he decides he wants to go back to the love of his life.
On the way back he comes across this swamp of which he is not sure if he should go around it or through it. He sees this little boy and he asks him, "hey is the bottom of this swamp solid ground?"
The little boy says "yes sir".
So the man coaxes his horse forward and into the swamp. Once he gets in he finds himself and his horse starting to sink and when he is up to his neck in swamp he shouts back to the boy.... "Hey I thought that you said the bottom was solid!"
The boy replies, "It is sir... you just havent gotten there yet!".
My advice to you.... take the long way around in life. You may loose people you love on the way but you really dont need them to validate your existance. Don't drown and loose yourself cause people can't wait for you. Or be there for you when you are ready for them. If they truely love you they will be there, from when you meet them, while they wait, and until the end.
