Bad things happen to good people all the time. It sucks. It's not fair but then much of life isn't fair. It's how you live that matters. It's how you deal with the bumps in the road.

But if I lost you, it would devastate me as nothing else has or ever could. You have so much power over me and that’s frightening.

Here we are, a man and a woman, both wanting the same things, and yet, you aren’t attracted to me.

Words are just words. The evidence is in how you act, how you react.

My attitude is born out of necessity. I've made mistakes. I've made decisions I regretted. I know what it's like to live with regret. I live with it everyday. But if I let it take over, I'd never get out of bed in the morning.

You can't control everything. You can't control how someone feels about you. Or what makes them tick. You can only control how you react, how you act, how you think and feel.
