I've come to realize just how much we're all at least a little heartbroken – all the time. We're like the phases of the moon, its face always partly illuminated, and always some portion in the dark, the balance changing day to day. 🌒 Maybe the bright crescent represents joy - but for me it's the dark part. Only the quiet darkness of the new moon reveals the softest and the most surprising starlight of love.
