So he always had the vision
After 9/11, Paul Bettany spent two days desperately trying to reach Jennifer Connelly in New York. That's when he realized he was in love with her. When he finally got through, he told her he was coming over and they should get married.
They had never even dated.

I think one of the hardest parts about growing up is watching friendships change without anyone actually doing anything
wrong. There's no fight, no betrayal, no proper goodbye. You just slowly stop talking every day, plans become harder to make, and suddenly you realise you don't know what's happening in their life anymore. And it's strange because you're genuinely happy for them, but somewhere inside you still miss the days when a random call could turn into hours of talking, when meeting each other didn't need planning, and when you could just show up and know you belonged. Maybe I don't miss the friendship as much as I miss how effortlessly happy we all used to be together.

Then the banks made laws so it has to be sold at "market price" so families and communities can't do this anymore.
A penny auction at a foreclosed farm in the 1930s. During the Great Depression, neighbors would show up, hang nooses to warn off outside bidders, buy the farm back for a few cents, and return it to the family who lost it.

There's a quiet kind of happiness in having small things to look forward to.
Dinner you’ve been craving tonight.
Coffee in the morning.
Catching up with a friend this weekend.
A trip coming up next month.
A new book waiting on your nightstand.
You don’t need a big milestone to feel excited about life.
Sometimes, it’s just a handful of little moments ahead of you that can turn an ordinary week into something that feels special.

Nothing calms down your nervous system more than having consistent flow of money, and not because of shallow reasons such as, you can go to your favorite restaurant every weekend. You can shop wherever you want, go to your favorite pubs. Not at all, but because if you have enough money saved in your bank account, you do not have to worry about what comes next. Even if you lose your job, even if your parents need money, there's a health care crisis, whatever it is, you are good because you have saved it in your bank account. And so therapy is fine, reading books is fine, trying to calm down your nervous system is fine. But unless you actually go to the root of why your nervous system is actually acting up all the time, you're not going to be better because that's when you will feel like you can move confidently in the world. And because you have actually earned that money yourself. And because that is your question in any situation that comes your way. People who do not have consistent cash flow struggle with everything in their life, in every spare versus those who have made it. And now they're happy in every other sphere of their life. I've seen it firsthand and that is why I'll continue to say it louder.
an unpopular opinion that would put you in this situation.

You could go on through your twenties and your thirties following a career path that makes you money, that gets you a family, and gives you stability. But it isn't quite you. And then you get into your forties, and that sense of discomfort kinda grows. And maybe you go and have an affair, or maybe you start taking some kind of drug or something like that, or you gain a lot of weight. Then, you're in your fifties and you're kind of locked into this. And, it‘s too late to change and you realize that you're headed in the wrong direction in life.
You think that money and stability are the only things that matter, but they're not. You have to have a sense of adventure; you have to have a sense of exploring. You have to have some courage in this world to pursue something that suits you and isn't necessarily going to make you as big an income as this other career path. You have to realize that you're going to pay a price for violating this law of who you actually are. You're going to pay a price, and that is you're going to disengage from your work. You're going to start having habits and addictions and things. Your body tells you the truth. Through physical sensation, your body is going to rebel at some point. You're going to get illnesses, you're going to become diabetic, and you're going to start gaining weight. You've disconnected from the reality of who you actually are and you will pay a price.

I think we sometimes feel obligated to turn people into villains just to justify moving on from them. As if a relationship has to become terrible before we're allowed to accept that it no longer fits our lives.
But sometimes nobody did one unforgivable thing. Sometimes you changed, your needs changed, or you finally noticed a pattern you had spent years overlooking.
You can be grateful for what a relationship was and still accept that it isn't where you belong anymore.
