Being gentle means forgiving yourself when you mess up. We should learn from our mistakes, but we shouldn't beat the tar out of ourselves over them. The past is just that, past. Learn what went wrong and why. Make amends if you need to. Then drop it and move on. -- Sean Covey --

The "clasping of hands" is that God damn secret to all relationships! See? Clasping...! Look... The fingers represent our good sides and the gaps between them - our shortcomings... Now, watch this... We bump our fingers together - our good sides and what happens? There's tension! Conflicts! Painful too! But... if we allow the other person to fill in the gaps, to fill in our shortcomings, we create harmony. This is where the fun begins! A link is made. An unbreakable union. Hence, the clasping of hands. -- from After Eden, a graphic novel by Arnold Arre --

I was once a sleeping child. But now, I've opened my eyes. I chose the crooked path of ignorance and this is the path I must pay. I've often thought of love as a strange place. A place where one can easily get lost in. No directions, no road signs. Yet, I entered it despite all that. -- from After Eden, a graphic novel by Arnold Arre --
