Rise

You don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts.

You have to pay your own electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth.

But that’s all.

The way a man acts around children, especially yours, is a great measure of how comfortable he is with himself. Observe him around five year olds. Is he acting in a way he thinks he should act or is he just being himself? Is he trying to earn points or give them? Also, watch how they act around him. Children are transparent which means they call bullshit. They will either find him comfortable or annoying. They will either cling or cringe. And eventually, so will you.

i think this is a big part of the reason i decided greg was everything i thought he was — his little cousins love him to death, and he is so comfortable with them
