I've heard that our willingness to wait for something reveals the value we place on what we're waiting for. Being young you chase lust, which results in not thinking before making decisions.

I wanted to tell her something to get her advice, but apart of me wanted to keep it to myself. "Nubia," I say to get her attention. She looks up humming a hmm as she gives me her attention. "Sooo, I saw Brayden last night," I finally say as she arches her brow.
