Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life

and can never grow in a jealous heart.
- Leo F. Buscaglia

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere,

Regrets and their cousins, resentments,
are a huge cause of self-inflicted suffering.
Sometimes it takes years of psychotherapy
to gain freedom from regrets about what you did or did not do,
and freedom from resentment over what others did or did not do.

to put the past in the past where it belongs.
However, sometimes a simple symbolic act can help immeasurably
to grant ourselves freedom from the past.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

so I may as well enjoy it"
kind of holding-on.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
