“The end is never the end. It's always the the beginning of something.”
― Kate Lord Brown, The Perfume Garden

“Maybe I don’t have enough beginnings in my life because I fought against the endings that were about to birth those beginnings.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Losing something happens in a day. An end takes one day. We all seem to focus on that one day, on that ending, rather than on the beautiful story that was created before the end came. We are obsessed with endings, so much so, that we would rather not live at all, than live and then lose. So, we have two choices: to not create our stories because we know that one day they have endings, or, to build our stories and therefore to live, filling the many years with memories and moments! An end takes one day to happen, but life takes place in the moments and in the memories that we choose to feel, to build, to hold. Don't miss out on the years, for the fear of one day.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“And then I knew that despite all the pain and hard work all of us had gone through, despite the sadness and anger we felt, in the end, everything was going to be fine.
But I did not know when the end was, or if it was even near.
But that did not matter.
I preferred to look towards it in anticipation rather than worry about it. One new day equalled to one new adventure. And right now, I still had plenty of days left in my life. So I did not decide to sit down and plan out my life.
Instead, I decided to sit back, relax, and see where life would take me.”
― Erica Sehyun Song, Thorns in the Shadow
