You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can wind up focusing on misleading factors.

Maybe that's what it all comes down to. Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way.

We are in love and meant to be together.

Maybe the thing to do after you roll the dice-and lose-is simply pick them up and roll them again.
Emily Giffin

I think that we have to consciously be aware that every moment we're in, every different stage in our lives, we can control.

One way isn't better than the other they're just different.

Sorrow comes with so many defense mechanisms. You have your shock, your denial, your getting wasted, your cracking jokes, and your religion. You also have the old standby catchall—the blind belief in fate, the whole things happening for a reason drill.

Life is about the gray areas. Things are seldom black and white, even when we wish they were and think they should be, and I like exploring this nuanced terrain.
