I gave up feeling scared of being hurt. I remember the exact moment that I realized my hurt would be deeper in time if I didn't give this a chance... It was the best chance I ever took.

He is a remarkable person and I have been so blessed in so many ways since he entered my life.


Lonely evenings


nothing, its only made life better
