My 6 siblings and I quite unintentionally distributed ourselves just about as far apart as possible. LA, Seattle, North ID, Chicago, Denver, Virginia. I think it was subconscious. We get along a lot better theses days, but we mostly converse via group text. One brother keeps trying to proselytize, and we keep having to shut him down.

Exactly my question... And sad thing is I realize we both can be that toxic person at different times. We gonna try to solve it ourselves a few more times I guess, but maybe it is time to try family therapist services, I don't know...

It’s not always clear whether you’re in a situation where you should cut your losses or you should persevere. There are lots of stories of people who stuck it out and won big, but just as many stories of people who lost everything by staying on a sinking ship.

This isn't how real life works. You wouldn't go mining if you didn't already know there were diamond veins and how deep they are to access.

A much more accurate metaphor is once you hit a vein, you have to keep digging and you don't know how shallow or deep the vein is.
