yes, you CAN have it all...

me: i have just one last question for you: if the time comes, between me and your career, would you be able to choose? and which one would you choose? just curious.
him: it doesn't matter i'd still be left with nothing in the end.

No, I am not upset that he didn't choose me. Truth is I didn't even expect him to. But I didn't expect this answer either. Yet in a curious way, it touched me more than if he'd said he'd choose me.

I guess it's his way of thinking that got to me--like so many times before. Just when I think I've got him figured out, he says something that completely throws me off the track. And makes me realize all over again why we clicked right from the start. Little surprises every now and then can be really sweet. Especially if you take the time to savor it and end up surprising yourself even more with the residual smile it brings.

Besides, his words echo of the "BOTH" mentality which I'm still striving to attain. Meaning, you don't have to choose because you can have both. Yes, you can have it all. It's just a matter of conditioning the mind to accept that such a thing is possible. Everything just follows after that.
