In the space between yes and no, there’s a lifetime. It’s the difference between the path you walk and the one you leave behind; it’s the gap between who you thought you could be and who you really are; its the legroom for the lies you’ll tell yourself in the future.

i kept the ring that you had given me although it's symbol was lost. switched from left hand to the right. a reminder of things done, not done, to do, not to do ever again. - kurt halsey

There is a big difference in what we long for, what we settle for, and what we are meant for.
------
If winning is getting up one more time than you fall down. If strength is more than muscle. If time teaches us patience. And knowledge gives us grace.
Then we will go forward. Remembering the past. But never yearning for it.
There is so much more to look forward to.

I spend 23 hours a day wondering whether we’re wrong for each other, wondering whether we’ve got the energy that we need to get through everything that we seem to get into, whether the baggage we both bring would sink a small ship. But in the 24th hour, I realize I’ve been thinking about her for 23 hours and I come back to there’s something about her, I can’t stay away from. Something about her, that makes me want to love her.
