“It’s been 50 years, 50 long years, since I’ve done this. Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I’ve come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a succcesful life, then some would say I’m a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life’s disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that every day won’t be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of dispair, remember that it’s only in the black of night that you see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home. So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, because most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing things that scare you the most. Maybe you will get everything you wish for. Maybe you’ll get more than you ever could’ve imagined. Who knows where life will take you? The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination.”

“I fall for you harder each day.”

“Some relationships just end. Like a star, they burn bright and brilliant, and then nothing in particular goes wrong, they just reach their end. They burn out.”

“The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose.”
