We look at this photograph knowing how the story ends.
We know the Allies took the beaches. We know Nazi Germany eventually surrendered. We know that June 6, 1944, became one of the most consequential days in modern history.
But the men in this photograph knew none of that.
My wife and I have been together for about a decade and we have three young kids together. For most of our relationship she was never someone who put a lot of effort into her appearance. She was always naturally beautiful, but she did not really dress up or focus much on how she looked.
A couple of years ago she went through a phase where she felt like she did not have an identity outside of being a mom. Since then she has started traveling more, joining social groups, dressing up, and wearing makeup.
It’s funny how someone can be too busy to return a text but somehow finds time to post seventeen Instagram stories, watch three seasons of a Netflix show, and tell you all about their weekend plans.
People make time for what matters to them. It’s a cliché because, unfortunately, it’s often true.
And yet, when we really like someone, we become incredibly talented at explaining away their lack of effort.

Answer: I had ulcerative colitis for 16 years. At my worst, I was having explosive diarrhea with blood and mucus 20 to 30 times per day. Eventually, I completely lost control of my bowels and would have accidents in public places, in my car, and in supermarkets. It was hell.
Best friend is turning 40. He has nothing. No savings. No house. No car. No real material possessions. No wife. No children. Average job.
He is just barely surviving paycheck to paycheck. He’s not happy with how his life is going and I can’t tell if he’s super depressed or not. I know he wants a wife or girlfriend at least, I don’t think he cares about kids (but I could be wrong).
I wanna give him some advice, but not really sure what to say. Or if there’s anything to say really.
He’s a smart dude, fit, active, etc., so it’s not like his life is a complete disaster. But I know it’s not where he wants to be, just not sure how I can help him level up??
It’s easy to be a good person when people are watching.
It’s easy to be honest when someone might catch you lying. Easy to be generous when someone might praise you for it. Easy to do the right thing when doing the wrong thing could cost you your reputation, your marriage, or your career.
But what happens when you remove all of that?
