“ I ran to my marriage, I was happily ready to take on marriage. ”
I think of marriage as a garden. You have to tend to it. Respect it, take care of it, feed it. Make sure everyone is getting the right amount of, um, sunlight.
~ Mark Ruffalo
What is happiness other than a negotiation between reality and your dreams? It's understanding that you give up something for something else. I feel like that's been how I've been trying to be happy, although in my DNA there's more of a depressed person.
You really can have your dreams and at the same time have a family. But it has to be a really deliberate practice.
The problem to me is violence. It's not cool to kill somebody or hurt people.
