“There are heartaches in life, painful things that happen and disappointments that steal away dreams.”

“It’s what happens when two people become one: they no longer only share love. They also share all of the pain, heartache, sorrow, and grief.”

“We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment. ”

“I could be the man of your dreams. I could also be the alarm clock, stealing you away from the man of your dreams.”

“Even if projects and new ventures do not work out, even if you undergo more disappointment or more suffering, at least you had the fulfilling experience of putting yourself into your life 100 percent.And you learned that no matter what kind of pain was thrown your way, you were able to endure it. Rather than running from pain, rather than spending your time asking why pain had to happen or figuring out who to blame for your pain, rather than fearing pain, you gritted your teeth and let the pain hurt--and you eventually outlasted it.Instead of adversity being the obstacle on the road to your happiness and fulfillment, instead of it causing you to detour away from your hopes, dreams, and most righteous aspirations, it was actually the thing that headed you right toward them.”

“Dreams would always end with you, and then mornings would steal you away with a cruelty that haunted my days.”
