““Without the bad, we wouldn’t know the good. Without sorrow and grief, how can we know happiness and love? Everything has a balance, Simone. Everything has a reason. We are created to feel, and to feel is to experience all emotions so when we do find love we know it and can embrace it and cherish it because we know what it would feel like to lose something so precious.””
