*Love has to do with sacrifice, however let's learn to know the extent of our sacrifice before it becomes detrimental to our lives
*Emotional attachment and detachment can talk months and even years but it is very important for one to heal before entering another relationship, or else the other partner will bear the cost
*The more you hold on to the past, you loose amazing people you meet in your present
- Patience is a virtue, I personally don't know if I should applaud Tina patients , but her patient finally paid off
*Always give love a second chance
