We could go back to the time when we first met: a man in emotional tatters over someone who had left him, and a woman madly in love with her neighbor. I could repeat what I said to you once: 'I'm going to fight to the bitter end.' Well, I fought and I lost, and now I'll just have to lick my wounds and leave.

Some suggestions for you :
Don't think about what you'll tell people afterwards. The time is here and now. Make the most of it.
And the best way to know who we are is often to find out how others see us.
Whenever a new situation presented itself, you had to remain cool and distant.
If God gave you a second chance, would you do anything differently? I.
