"Absence makes the heart grow stronger is a popular aphorism." It first appeared in The Pocket Magazine of Classic and Polite Literature, 1832, in a piece by a Miss Stickland. This aphorism was originally written by the Roman poet Sextus Propetius as "Always toward absent lovers love's tide stronger flows" It was made more contemporary by Miss Stickland in 1832. This aphorism means that when you are not with someone, you miss them and you want to be with them. When you are farther away from a boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse etc, you miss them more and want to be with them. The same goes for friends. If you go on vacation and you are away from your friends or your family for a while, you miss them and you like them more than you do than would if you were with them at that time. You are more fond of someone when you are away from them for a long time. A specific example of this in my life is when I was away from home for a long time on a trip to Florida. I was away from my family for a week and I missed them. Usually, I do not get along with my family very well, but since I had not seen them for a long time, I missed them and I wanted to hang out with them instead of hanging out with my friends. Another aphorism that I like is "do not count your chickens before they hatch" This aphorism means that you should not count on something that does not happen yet. I tend to do this a lot. I always spend a lot of my money thinking that I will make up for it with my next paycheck, but I always end up not working as much as I thought I was going to. So I end up never having any money because I just spend it all. I need to be better about Not counting my chickens before they hatch.
