“I realized I may never be in complete control of my heart, but the power to have complete control over my emotions was mine. I could be grateful for the chips and cracks in my heart left by past loves, because that’s how new love will find its way in. And I could go bravely and confidently into the world, daring love to find me, because at last, I have found myself. And that was perhaps the greatest lesson of all.”
– Many Hale, “Never Been to Vegas”
