There’s an old Chinese proverb that I love:
“He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey. He who blames himself is halfway there. He who blames no one has arrived.”
I texted him, "How was your day today?" and he sent me a 10-minute voice note telling me everything.
And that basically sums up the kind of person I want by my side. Stop normalizing disinterest.
