“Joyce Vincent was 41 when she was found dead in her home, but she was 38 when she died.

Closing cycles by Paulo Coelho
dreamhampton1:
One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.
