You know what daring really is to me? It's maybe much more simple: the willingness to get up and try it again. It's not about whether or not you fall down, it's how you get back up. And I've taken quite a few tumbles, myself.

When I was first going through my separation, someone said to me, 'It will take you half as long as you were in the relationship before you'll feel better.'

I think everybody has a hard time connecting, but as you get older and you want more and you expect more and you know more, it's just different.
