“You are lucky if you get your heart broken in your lifetime. I can not imagine a life spent without knowing the excruciating pain/beauty/depth of feeling that goes along with this ride. 
I’m in my mid 60’s, and I think I’ve felt true heart break twice. It tears you open in a visceral way you did not know existed. Your heart never really ever heals. You get better, but your heart is scarred for life. And hopefully you emerge a more compassionate and empathetic human.”
