The heart is a big, powerful thing, isn't it? It can take so much.
Isn't it funny how the things we regret most are often the things we didn't do?
We're all just trying our best, aren't we? Even when it doesn't seem like it.
Hope is a powerful thing, isn't it? It can keep us going when everything else seems impossible.
Love is a strange and wonderful thing, isn't it? It can make us do the most extraordinary things.
We have to hold on to the good things, don't we? Even when they seem few and far between.
