"And Hansel said to Gretel, let us drop these breadcrumbs, so that together we can find our way home. Because losing our way would be the most creul of things. And losing your way on a journey is unfortunate. But losing your reason for the journey is a fate more creul. The journey lasted eight months. Sometimes I travelled alone. Sometimes there were others who took the wheel-and my heart. But when the destination was reached...it wasn't me who arrived, it wasn't me at all. And once you lose yourself, you have two choices: find the person you used to be, or lose that person completely. Because, sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been. And remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are. There are two tragedies in life, one is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it. As we strain to grasp the things we desire, the things we think will make our lives better: money, popularity, fame...we ignore what truly matters. The simple things: like friendship, family and love. The things we probably already had."
