What are you thinking about?

You look so pensive.

I was just thinking about how much things have changed since I was a child.

Oh, sometimes I think about that too.

What are your thoughts?

Nostalgic for sure.

Generally I remember the best times. And then I get a bit depressed when I think about how things have changed.

To be nostalgic means to think about in this past experiences.

  What kinds of changes to press you.

Well, one thing is the pace of life.

Everything is so fast paced now. So there isn't enough time to think.

That's because you've grown up.

You're not a child anymore. So you have responsibilities.

You're not a child anymore. So you have responsibilities.

What are your thoughts?

Oh, sometimes I think about that too.

It's more than just having responsibilities.

My parents had to work, but they also had time for other things.

My dad used to go fishing on the weekends and my mom used to work in her garden.

She loves to grow flowers and vegetables.

Yeah, that does sound nice.

In the city makes things like that really difficult.

Yes, living in the city is certainly part of the problem, right?

Well, that depends on you.

You make things sound as if you have no choices in life.

It's the choices you've made to put you where you are now.

Sure, that's certainly part of the problem.

  I guess I have changed.

I guess i've changed.

Well, that depends on you.

It's more than just having responsibilities.

You want a lifestyle that you can't have in the city.

If you really want those things, you could move back to the countryside.

No, that's not an option.

If I did that. My wife would divorce me.

Have you ever talked about the weather?

No I haven't.

We don't talk about things like that.

We're both too busy.

I think she's busier than I am.

Well, maybe she would surprise you.

Maybe she'd like to change to.

You should talk to her.

Hi I don't know.

I think she's  Even busier than I am.

  Maybe she  Would like change too.

You want a lifestyle that you can't have in the city.

What about you?

I'm okay.

I would like some things as they are.

We try to think positively. We support each other.

It sounds like you have a good marriage.

Yes we do.

And one reason for that is that we share our thoughts with each other.

We don't want to grow apart. Like so many couples.

Maybe i'll surprise my wife and start sharing my thoughts with her.

Well, if you don't do it now, nothing is going to change.

Yes you're probably right.

I'll think about it.

We don't want to grow apart. Like so many couples.

If  he decide to move back to the countryside, he thinks she would divorce him.

Maybe i'll surprise my wife and start sharing my thoughts with her.

I was just thinking about how much things have changed since I was a child.

It's the choices you have made that put you where you are now.
