"Time is like a flowing river,it'll never end,or stop for you,so flow with the river."
I'm thinking my mom means you should be productive with time ._.

my dad knows all of these obscure wise adages in Spanish and every once in a while he'll share some with me

like one, translated: "At night, all of the cats are black" meaning we're all human in the end and no better or worse than the other and eventually we'll all die

see i can't really say the same for my grandparents because i didn't know my grandmother very well and my grandfather was racist and thought mexico was in a separate continent across the ocean

(my other grandparents are in mexico i've only gotten to see them like 2 times)

I like that one.

Oh that reminds me of my grandpa's utter denial there was Hispanic in our background at all despite the obvious indicators that there was. He even knew Spanish but would rarely use it. That man was goofy as hell with his racism. He also had a huge beef with the Japanese but that had to do with WWII. Ooops. D:

When I was trying to decided between two things, my dad would always tell me "Flip a coin. If you want to flip again, you probably actually want the other one."

He's said more profound things, but I really like that one.
