Every life, every love, every action and feeling and thought has its reason and significance: its beginning, and the part it plays in the end. Sometimes, we do see.
Gregory David Roberts
nothing grieves more deeply or pathetically than one half of a great love that isn’t meant to be.
Gregory David Roberts
