Seven Words

I know there have been a lot of posts about the “seven words that will make a woman love you”, but I thought it might be fun to discuss “seven words” found in places other than the Chronicle that fit the criteria after I spotted a couple in the wild this week.

The first was in an episode of the TTRPG podcast “Dungeons and Daddies”. I’ll avoid spoilers here in case anyone decides to give it a listen (and you should) but at one point one of the characters is told “You are enough, just as you are”. I struggle a lot with feeling like I’m up to the challenge of being a good husband/father, and that hit me like a punch to the gut.

The second one is kinda cheating- it’s really two seven word phrases from Glen Campbell’s “Wichita Lineman”:

“I need you more than want you; and I want you for all time.”

Anyone else find themselves counting out words in other settings?
