Quote: Just because the problems with new Rs seem quite challenging is no reason not to try.
The way I look at it is I have two options: Plan A: stay single forever. In fact, never date because I could actually fall in love and could end up married. This plan also could include pining away for or at least holding out hope for reconciliation with XS. Plan B: Take a chance that I'll meet someone that will enrich my life and deal with the problems that arise from exes, step-kids, and the desire for future kids, but at least taking a chance that it will work out and I can give and receive love from someone.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
