I'd always thought I would feel like an animal released from its cage when my student days were finished, I felt more like a bird that had been pushed from its nest and told it must fly.

But that's how the heart is. Stubborn and foolish.

Nothing is forever...nothing lasts.

Even in the most wretched life, there’s hope.

...she refused to leave anything to someone else that she could do better herself.

Why does life carry some people on the crest of the wave while others drown beneath the water?

My love is unique an none can rival her. Just by passing, she has already stolen away my heart.
