I Remember That My Mother Once Told

She Wonders What Fool Ever Said That It's Better To Have Loved And Lost Than To Have Never Loved At All - She Has Never Disagreed With Something So Much.

You'd Do Anything To Get A Soul Mate Back, Right?… I Mean, That's The Nature Of Soul Mates.

But I Have Learned That You Make Your Own Happiness, That Part Of Going For What You Want Means Losing Something Else. And When The Stakes Are High, The Losses Can Be That Much Greater.

I Think That We Have To Consciously Be Aware That Every Moment We're In, Every Different Stage In Our Lives, We Can Control.

I Wondered Why I Was So Startled By The Encounter When There Was Something That Seemed Utterly Inevitable About The Moment. Not In Any Grand, Destined Sense; Just In The Quiet, Stubborn Way That Unfinished Business Has Of Imposing Its Will On The Unwilling.
