from an old email

"If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust, and the importance of being cautious, to whom you'll open your heart. But if someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love, and opening your heart and eyes, to things you would have never seen, or felt without them."
