Getting space in relationships

[Angrboda]

We're never gonna be satisfied. As a parent, you may tire of your kids and wish they were more independent. Then when they become independent enough to leave the nest, you regret the times you didn't spend together. And as their lives get busier, and the visits less frequent, you long for the days when you had more than you could take from them. The situation is never going to be ideal, and the things you want today, you may regret wanting tomorrow. If you need space, that's cool. But accept some compromise. Today is gone all too fast. Take the fruit, and throw out the seed. The opportunity may not come around again.
