One of the most painful parts of a breakup is having the feeling that your life is a story, and then the other person leaves and takes the story with them. And you're left there without it. You're left in this version of life that's basically a succession of events and interactions that don't seem to be going anywhere.

Happiness radiates like the fragrance...It takes a hero to be one of those men...I have the most beautiful daughter in the world...In solitude the mind gains strength...Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought...It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe...
