If you hold back on the emotions--if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them--you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your heard even, you experience them fully and completely.

No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we're alone.

All that happens when your dreams come true is a slow, melting realization that it wasn't what you thought.

No matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don't see what we could be.
