The most powerless things in this world are separation and death. There are some things you simply cannot change, no matter what you do. It is in these moments that you must decide to let go.

The most difficult thing in this world is trying to reach for the stars with bare hands, to love but never obtain. Those who are not meant for you will never understand, no matter how many words you share. But those who are meant for you need no words or speculation; they are like the breeze that effortlessly attracts butterflies.

Most of life's troubles are simply about the inability to obtain, to love, to act. Clenching your hands reveals nothing but emptiness; opening them reveals the entire world.
