"Who's living your life? Only you know what is best for you in the end Globule." But I'm just a scatterbrained scientist, who am I to decide how to live my life? Good point LFL.
"You can't rubber stamp how everyone else should live their lives." Very few statements contain more truth than that. That is why I have so much respect for social scientists, there are really no rules that can be universally applied.
"Honestly, my innocence regarding the M is gone." I wonder if you do the same thing that I do. Whenever I hear one of my students saying "I'm getting married" I have to bite my tongue from giving lots of dire warnings and saying "boy are you in for it."
"I do not EXPECT that we will live happily ever after. Frankly, I can't see more than a few months down the road. I'm ok with that although a little restless. I'm trying not to dwell on the future and I don't think you should either."
Restless is an understatement for us. Don't dwell on the past, don't dwell on the future, what the heck am I supposed to dwell on? Oh yeah, the present.
