Sometimes hope is all we have, and to lose that is to lose all.

Life isn't perfect. It's not supposed to be. We all make mistakes. You bash your head against the wall and you get hurt, but you walk away and make the best of it. And that's what makes it life, Brenna, not perfection. You'll never find happiness if you only expect to find a perfect life. Happiness is something we reach for while we try to learn from our disappointments.

A great man once wrote, "Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire." If only I were as eloquent as Mr. de la Rochefoucauld...I miss you, I miss you, I miss you. And I want you. And I need your kiss. And your touch on my skin like a man needs water. Always.

The highway of life was littered with the roadkill of those who didn't know when to change lanes.

You have to get through the rain if you're ever going to see a rainbow.

Sometimes hope is all we have, and to lose that is to lose all.

There is how we were before, and how we are now, and the time between is spent choosing which doors to open, and which to close.
