““There is nothing more romantic than this. Holding the very person you thought you lost, and knowing you'll never lose them again. I don't think that true love means your only love. I think true love means loving truly. Loving purely. Loving wholly. Maybe, if you're the kind of person who's willing to give all of yourself, the kind of person who is willing to love with all of your heart even though you've experienced just how much it can hurt... maybe you get lots of true loves, then. Maybe that's the gift you get for being brave. I am a woman who dares to love again. I finally love that about myself. It's messy to love after heartbreak. It's painful and it forces you to be honest with yourself about who you are. You have to work harder to find the words for your feelings, because they don't fit into any prefabricated boxes. But it's worth it. Because look what you get: Great loves. Meaningful loves. True loves.””
