“I realized a long time ago, with a certain amazement, that no mattter how important something is in your life, no matter how huge it is, how much space it takes up in your heart and in your thoughts, unless you mention it to other people, they have no idea it exists."

-Sharon Shinn

Missed opportunities are missed opportunities. There's no getting it back. Maybe a similar opportunity may be offered, but it'll be different- different context, different time, different me. My heart aches for the missed opportunities that I have to say goodbye to. Because I have to acknowledge the end before it has even started.
