They were sorry, they were saying with their bodies, they were accepting each other back, and that feeling, that feeling of being accepted back again and again, of someone's affection for you expanding to encompass whatever new flawed thing had just manifested in you, that was the deepest, dearest thing he'd ever-- ↗

I think the secret to a hoppy life is a selective memory. Remember what you are most grateful for and quickly forget what your not. ↗
