Yeah, and I mean, at one point I remember noticing, especially among young people, college students, sophisticated college students, they still referred to Disney movies as being their inspiration in a way for what romantic love is, which... All of those movies end in a wedding, you know? Like, a wedding is the achievement instead of the beginning of a deepening relationship.

And that's part of that misconception, these sort of scripts that we seem to play in our lives or that we feel like we need to stick to. And it's not that, you know? It's the beginning of conflict. It's the beginning of something that is deeper.

Yeah, and this is an essay by a writer named Chris Huntington. He talks about this ritual with his son where they also talk each day about the best moments and the worst moments of their day. And one night he's reading with his son and he's feeling distracted and probably checking his phone and just all of those things where you're not in the moment.

And he says, oh, wait, we forgot to talk about our best moment and worst moment. What's the best moment of your day? And his son says, this is, Daddy, this is. I actually started to get teary just thinking about it.

And when I read that, tears sort of sprung to my eyes and I thought about my own experiences with my reading to my son and to my daughter and the distraction that I used to feel and what am I going to do tomorrow and what do I have to do for work and just that reminder, that small moment of like, this is your life. These are the important moments of your life. Be in them.
