#what endures

"I don’t know whether I’ll be able to change certain things for the better, or not at all. Both outcomes are possible. There is only one thing I will not concede: that it might be meaningless to strive in a good cause." - Vaclav Havel

As time goes on, you’ll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn’t, doesn’t. Time solves most things. And what time can’t solve, you have to solve yourself.

“Besides, haven’t you ever thought that the best things are hard because they make you value them more? The things you really have to work for makes you appreciate them so much more.”

“That old saying ‘forgive and forget’? No one ever tells you it’s not forgiving that’s hard. It’s forgetting about it. ‘Cause no matter how much you don’t want to, you remember.”

But see the thing about memories? They’re a double-edged sword. You get the good but there’s also the bad. And you can’t decide which memories you get to keep and which ones you don’t. You get it all.
