I've recently been going through some money issues, it happens as a college student. But sometimes i sit and think, what if somebody offered me a million dollars? I sometimes wonder if I would take it.
But here is a list of things that a million dollars could never replace, and therefore would not be worth it.
the hug your best friend gives you when you haven't seen each other in years.
Being able to call Daddy and say "I'm ENGAGED!"
Mom calling to say "I love you"
The sister conversations you have as you grow up.
Making a big dinner with friends.
Someone to hold you when life gets hard.
searching your room for 85 cents in change so you can go buy an ice cream cone.
the look on your friends face after they've been kissed.
Friends getting engaged.
Friends getting pregnant.
your cousin calling to say "thank you for convincing me to date him" and her then saying that she is engaged.
thanksgiving dinners.
Seeing moms christmas village get bigger over the years.
those quiet moments where you get to sit and tune things out.
Inventing dinner and it tasting good.
learning a new piece of music.
gas station hot chocolate runs.
slurpee runs
watching Ugly Betty with friends.
Having best friends.
These are all things that a million dollars would pale in comparison too. These small moments are the ones I wouldn't rade for the world. The funny thing about a million dollars, yes i would be set the rest of my life and i wouldn't have to worry about paying for school, but money never loves you back. It just kind of sits there. It doesn't make you smile or laugh. In fact its much more likly to make you cry.
I would rather be poor my whole life but have someone to face the challenges with, than to have every material thing i ever wanted but have to do it alone.
