Summary

This quote highlights the importance of taking action rather than waiting for the perfect conditions or circumstances. Waiting around for perfection only leads to inaction and missed opportunities. By portraying waiting as being a "waiter," it emphasizes the idea that constantly waiting on others and expecting things to fall into place without any personal effort will restrict one's growth and limit the fulfillment of their own goals and dreams. Instead, it encourages individuals to take initiative, be proactive, and actively pursue their desires rather than passively relying on others or circumstances to shape their lives.

Time will make it worse! You're...the other half of his soul

Time will make it worse! You're...the other half of his soul. He's never going to get over you. And no matter how much you hope that you will... you'll never get over him.
