Over and over again, I’m observing how valuable connections are. Social classes aren’t dead by any means. If anything, they’ve become more powerful than ever.

It turns out that, with the right partner, love and greatness are not mutually exclusive. They can exist together! I’m cautious to claim that my experiment has been proven and is completely conclusive as I have yet to achieve much in the department of greatness and the love I’m enjoying is pretty new (only a couple of months in), but I thought I’d share some observations on what kinds of conditions need to exist to make this happen.
