“Getting even doesn't help a relationship heal. If you're feeling pain, don't take action that creates even more pain. Don't try to cover darkness with darkness. Find the light. Act out of love. Do something that will enable you to move forward towards a more fulfilling reality.” quote by Melchor Lim
