People sometimes get in the habit of being loyal to a mistake.

Richard Russo

The line of gray along the horizon is brighter now, and with the coming light I feel a certainty: that there is, despite our wild imaginings, only one life. The ghostly others, no matter how real they seem, no matter how badly we need them, are phantoms. The one life we're left with is sufficient to fill and refill our imperfect hearts with joy, and then to shatter them. And it never, ever lets up.

Richard Russo

And there comes a time in your life when you realize that if you don't take the opportunity to be happy, you may never get another chance again.
