Quotes from the Book
smarter than me. But here's the thing my life did get better. I made a decision to let go of my dreams, because they were killing me, and I stopped asking the impossible of myself. I changed my attitude and decided to focus on what I had rather than what i didn't have.

If it don't come back, it was never yours. If it comes back, it's yours to keep.
Once the door to one disaster had opened, the possibilities for catastrophe seemed open-ended and I felt I'd no choice but to go along with my life as it unraveled.
The stars are always there, even in the daylight. Sometimes we just can't see them.
You don't have to sleep with someone, you can be unfaithful with your emotions.
Im sorry, I thought it would be better that way. Less painful, to just let it all fade away.
Isn't it strange that sometimes the memory of an act of kindness can cause more pain than the cruel stuff?
