Dear Abby has had her day, now it's my turn!

Correct the blunders on your face made through self-delusion _ this would be far more fitting than to want to teach me, which is just as if a sow trying to teach Minerva.

Holding on will not make something come back. In my experience, it actually pushes it farther away. You cannot go back and undo what__ done, my friends. You can only move forward. And if your deepest compulsions and instincts tell you that you__e meant to be with that person or doing that thing, you should let go and move forth and see how life takes you there. Clearly, things aren__ going according to your desired plan already, so why not throw caution to the wind and see where you end up.

Love your readers enough to give them a place of refuge from life's tragedies, big and small. And love the world you live in enough to make it the world of your dreams.
