I choose to love you in silence, for in silence I find no rejection. I choose to love you in loneliness, for in loneliness no one owns you but me. I choose to adore you from a distance, for distance will shield me from pain. I choose to kiss you in the wind, for the wind is gentler than my lips. I choose to hold you in my dreams, for in my dreams, you have no end. ~Rumi
"In order to grow a lotus, first you must muddy the waters. I had to be lost before I could be found, broken before I could be rebuilt, and humbled before I could be reborn."

Now I’m just happy it was me and not anybody else. Some weights become easier to carry when you love what you’re carrying them for. If suffering was the price for someone else’s peace, I’d pay it all over again.
