Grief is really just love. It's all the love you want to give but cannot. Grief is just love with no place to go.

-Jamie Anderson-

"Have an open heart and then let it be broken. Open it once more and let it shatter all over again. Don't you see? The only thing holding you back is your fear of heartbreak. So what if they leave you? You will still have yourself. And what if they break your heart? You've gone through it before, you can surely get through it again. Once you've made a home in yourself, you stop fearing love because you have accepted its potential demise. You know well enough that not all good things will last forever. You will no longer allow someone's exit to erase you. Love is both beautiful and painful. It is miraculous and monstrous. If you wish to experience it at its greatest capacity, you must accept its duality."
