I knew that losing you would bring me nothing but devastation. Despite this, I took the risk and welcomed you into my life, hoping that the sweetness of our time together would make up for all the pain your loss would someday bring.

To fully appreciate the wonders of joy and love, you also must understand the horror of pain and loss.

How ironic it is that only loss can show us how important something is.

One of the hardest lessons in life is letting go. Whether it’s guilt, angry, love, loss or betrayal. Change is never easy. We fight to hold on and we fight to let go.

To fully appreciate the wonders of joy and love, you have to also appreciate the horror of pain and loss.

Losing someone who doesn’t respect and appreciate you isn’t a loss. It’s actually a gain.

Breakups hurt, but losing someone who doesn't respect and appreciate you is actually a gain, not a loss.

I still miss those I loved who are no longer with me but I find I am grateful for having loved them. The gratitude has finally conquered the loss.
