"Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable."
"the absence isn’t immediate, more a fade from the present tense you shared, a melting into the past, not an erasure but a conversion in form, from presence to memory, from solid to liquid, and the person you once touched now runs over your skin, now in sheets down your back, and you may bathe, may sink, may drown in the memory, but your fingers cannot hold it."

I have heard others, and I have heard myself, recounting cruelties and falsehoods committed in boyhood as if they were no concern of the present speaker's, and even with laughter.

The guilt is washed out not by time but by repentance and the blood of Christ: if we have repented these early sins we should remember the price of our forgiveness and be humble."

"A formal period in life where there isn’t the worry of another person’s dramas and insecurities can be of great advantage, especially when used for growing into the full and wholesome beings we intended to be when choosing to come to this material manifestation.“Even after ending a long relationship or a marriage, it seems normal to have some alone-time to reflect, meditate, explore areas of interest, find meaning in one’s suffering and try to placate the void felt in the heart before attempting to enter into new relationships, otherwise the same old mistakes will surely re-emerge.“Once we’re at the stage of life where we can stand our own silence, where we’ve made peace with our past, where we’ve accepted and grown from its lessons, and we would like to share our independence without becoming dependent on someone else for love and affection, then we can choose to commit to a two bodied intimate relationship."
"Love Just Happens"Love just happens When you are not looking for it,Not paying attention,Unaware. You could miss it the first few times,But then, unexpectedly, Somehow this invisible magnetic energy Pulls you and another person together. And you feel this beautiful magic,Like a gravitational force -As if the moon were kissing the sun. And their name,Becomes the most hypnotic name And you die to see their eyes When you open yours Every time. Love just happens When you least expect it At any location At any time. It never announces its arrival But when it does find you Its warmth is so strong It may frighten you You could close your eyes and feel it And feel them No matter where you are Or they are Every time. Love just happens And it happens to everybody. But some people have their sensors off,Or hide from it,Or constantly look for it. Just don't think about it. Open your heart and it will find you. It always does. Whenever you think it forgot about you,It will hit you. Just like that – Every time. Love just happens."
