sometimes...

"SOMETIMES THE BEST AND WORST TIMES OF YOUR LIFE CAN COINCIDE. 

IT IS A TALENT OF THE SOUL TO DISCOVER THE JOY IN PAIN—-

THINKING OF MOMENTS YOU LONG FOR, AND KNOWING YOU’LL NEVER HAVE THEM AGAIN. 

THE BEAUTIFUL GHOSTS OF OUR PAST HAUNT US, AND YET WE STILL CAN’T DECIDE IF THE PAIN THEY CAUSED US 

OUT WEIGHS THE TENDER MOMENTS WHEN THEY TOUCHED OUR SOUL. 

THIS IS THE IRONY OF LOVE."

YOU MUST SHINE LIGHT ON IT."
