It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond
our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned:
nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning
of peace. And there will always be a moment when you walk past your
dusty journal, tarnished picture frame, and worn out shoes that you
realize what you really lost, and how much more there is to gain.
