““To insist on a certain outcome--one outcome--is to deny yourself the surprise experiences life was going to give you--the things you didn't know you wanted until they came knocking and you were daring enough to let them in. By tying yourself to an ending, you're making arrangements to be miserable if you don't get exactly what you want. Or worse, you get exactly what you want and it doesn't make you as supremely happy as you thought it was going to.””
