"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."
Epicurus (341 BC - 270 BC)
Too often, the bleakness takes hold and makes it hard for you to see the sun. I know it's hard to get back up and move forward, but you must if you want to learn to be the better man that turns the heads of those around you and makes her regret the decision she made.
"I made the wall of shadow draw back, beyond desire and act, I walked on.
Oh flesh, my own flesh, woman whom I loved and lost, I summon you in the moist hour, I raise my song to you."
