Each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.
Mitch AlbomIf 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.
Mitch AlbomYou can be a mama's boy, be a daddy's boy, but you can't be both. So you cling to the one you think you might lose.
