hearing a rumor that the inevitable may come this february, i found the need to console myself with words of those who have come before me...
"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone."
-Rose Kennedy
"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars." -Kahlil Gibran
"The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but that this humiliation is seen by everyone." -Milan Kundera
"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it." -Helen Keller
"Some of the best lessons are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom of the future." -Dale Turner
"In order to learn the important lessons in life, one must, each day, surmount a fear."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Nothing is permanent in this wicked world— not even our troubles." -Charlie Chaplin
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face; You must do the thing you think you cannot do." -Eleanor Roosevelt
"Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed." -GK Chesterton
"The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. He's dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he's a hero the whole time." -Frank Miller
"For we pay a price for everything we get or take in this world; and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won." -Lucy Maud Montgomery
The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering." -Ben Okri
"Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting." -Dr. Seuss
"Nalaman kong habang lumalaki ka, maraming beses kang madadapa. Bumangon ka man ulit o hindi, magpapatuloy ang buhay, iikot ang mundo, at mauubos ang oras." -Bob Ong

Song of the Day: Fallen (by Sarah Mclachlan)
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I've held so dear.
