Love and friendship. They are what make us who we are, and what can change us, if we let them.
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.
…love is the sum of our choices, the strength of our commitments, the ties that bind us together.
I think of how each person in a marriage owes it to the other to find individual happiness, even in a shared life. That this is the only way to grow together, instead of apart.
But I have learned that you can’t just create your own timetable and will it to come true.
Life’s not black-and-white. Sometimes the ends justifies the means.
