famous-quotes Don't Rush Love 




“Oh, you young ladies just don’t have the patience and that’s all you need. When I was in my teens, everything was laid out exactly how it was supposed to happen and we just had to go day by day and wait. You got up, went to school, came home, helped with chores, did your schoolwork, ate dinner, and went to bed. That’s what I focused on every day, and if I had one ounce of free time for any boy to come visit, I had to wait for him to get permission from his father, finish his chores, and walk two or three miles to my front porch.” She laughed. “By then, it was time to prepare for the next day and go to bed. But everything we did took time. That’s just something you all seem to think you don’t have enough of.”

“We don’t,” I protested. “It seems like when I get home, I have just enough time to eat, go over the work I bring home, and take a bath.”

“That’s in your head. The best thing about being young is that time is on your side, but it’s only on your side for a little while. Don’t spend it all doing needless things and rushing through. You got fast food, remote controls, next-day service, and a ton of other devices that make you feel rushed, but you can’t fall for that. When all is said and done, it will be about what you gave and what you built from a human standpoint, not how many hours you put in or how many times you came back late from lunch.”



--Camika Spencer; dialogue between two older and younger females in the book, “Cubicles”
