Divorce
Friendship is the marriage of the soul, and this marriage is liable to divorce.
I used to think that divorce meant failure, but now I see it more as a step along the path of self-realization and growth.
When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn't a sign that they 'don't understand' one another, but a sign that they have, at last, begun to.
You know why divorces are so expensive? They're worth it.
The negative effects of combat were nightmares, and I'd get jumpy around certain noises and stuff, but you'd have that after a car accident or a bad divorce. Life's filled with trauma. You don't need to go to war to find it; it's going to find you. We all deal with it, and the effects go away after awhile. At least they did for me.
