Admit it

You have got to be willing to admit that you don't like the way things are. That you're unhappy. That you're in love but things aren't perfect. You have got to be willing to admit that things will never be perfect. That relationships are nothing but sacrifice after sacrifice. But you have got to remember that a sacrifice is different from a compromise. And offering a compromise doesn't mean someone gets to cop out.

You've got to look your problems in the eye and wrestle with them. You've got to let your problems know that you're not afraid. That you are going to think and question and infer -- that you're going to conquer them.

But never, ever forget: the sun also rises. And everyday that great, inspiring star rises over this half of the Earth, you will be here. And you will know love, and heartache, and you will live.
