“A career is wonderful, but you can’t curl up with it on a cold night.”
-Marilyn Monroe
The warm glow of accolades is wonderful, but it pales in comparison to hugging someone you love that loves you as intensely.
A career will last decades, and maybe be remembered by others for another two or so. But the legacy of love lasts generations.
When the night is cold, it is the warmth of the heart that keeps the bitterness at bay, not cold hard cash.
