If I had my life to live over again, I would find you sooner so that I could love you longer. - David Kessler

Life gives us pain. Our job is to experience it when it gets handed to us. Avoidance of loss has a cost.

Dahulu, saya menggenggam erat kehidupan dalam kepalan tangan, tetapi sekarang saya sadar bahwa saya juga bisa memegangnya dengan tangan terbuka.

Your life will never be the same, but happiness again is still possible. Never being happy again is a statement about the future. But no one can predict the future. All they can know for sure is that they are unhappy today. It helps to say, "I'm unhappy today," and leave it at that.
