you will always be my favorite hello and hardest goodbye. P.S. i will always love you

...all people needed was time and then they could figure most things out of themselves.

It's not about finding Mr Right, or that sort of conventional ending, but I do want my characters to have hope - and that's what I do with all my stories.
