It takes 6 years to
forget about something bad that has happened to you
learn how to fish and still catch nothing
understand you were never guaranteed to live the last 6 years
learn you can't drink like you used to
It takes 6 years
change a habit
think you have turned a corner, only to discover it was a circle
become a doctor
stop attracting the same lovers
It takes 6 years
notice your vision grow weaker
recognize a pattern
understand what really pleases you
let the pain go
It takes 6 years
realize you have ignored the signs over and over
save enough money to buy a house
learn to live without a 'to-do list'
know what you want in another person
order something new at a Chinese restaurant
It takes 6 years
accept that 1-ply toilet tissue has no place in your life
walk on the other side of the street
realize the difference between drinking buddies and friends
find new love
realize family is important to you
It takes 6 years
forget
finally do something you wanted to do
understand you cannot control things outside yourself
forgive
It takes 6 years
realize your favorite bar actually smells of urine and disappointment
learn how to say 'no'
understand money makes people cautious
realize a chiropractor has something to offer
learn one of your parents doesn't really accept you
It takes 6 years
realize the only people who know about mercy are the ones who need it
walk across a bridge
realize you are disappointed
branch out and find a new author
It takes just 6 years
realize most of your friends don't give a shit
understand something is an illusion
recognize you continue to live in an illusion
let go of something
It takes 6 more years
