Scars mean you fought. Wrinkles mean you lived. Heartache means you loved.
Lust makes you weak, passion makes you strong, love makes you brave, and heartache makes you wise.
The worst feelings are the warm, anxious burning that portends your heart breaking followed by the wave of numbness that asphyxiates your soul.
A feistiness of spirit girds us in the most treacherous of moments. A metamorphosis of spirit often occurs after a person conscientiously surveys the resultant outcome of surviving a momentous ordeal and they transfigure personal heartache into a magnanimous manner of living in a just and righteous manner.
