My absolute favorite line: downplay the letdown and up-play the gratitude. Thatโ€™s my takeaway from this. The whole story was wonderful! Thank you for this. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ

Does this mostly happen to men? I donโ€™t find this happens to me. When I want things and actually go for them, Iโ€™m so happy to have them indefinitely. But I see this a ton with my brother and father, always looking for different cars and bigger boats, gadgets, houses, and more, more, more. I think this maybe has to do with testosterone and the drive to hunt, possess, and conquer. I could be wrong though.

A great piece, Maurice. Thank you. And by the way, my first car was a Buick Invicta. You'll have to Google that one, for sure!
