“Mom, she stole my pencil.”
“Both of you are supposed to share stuff, so it isn’t stealing.”
Time flies, and the birds are old enough to fly the nest.
“Mom, since we will both work in the same city, sharing an apartment will save cost.”
“Be prepared to lead separate lives, as your priorities change….. and the rest is your decision.”
Being the line that connects dots, and then closes itself to create new shapes is never easy.
