Tears cannot always bring back what you have lost. Not everyone deserves your devotion. Being sad does not mean you have to cry. Being kind does not guarantee you will be protected. Not everyone will understand you. So when life occasionally disappoints us, we must learn to smile bravely. When you are sad, tell yourself, "I'm doing fine, and I'm happy." When you feel lost, smile and say to yourself, "It's all right. Everything will pass in time." When you try harder to hold on to something, you are more likely to lose it. And when you truly wait for someone, that person will never show up.
