“Relationships are like bridges- we can build them up or knock them down. People often assume that we sever connections because we are carrying a grudge. But that’s not always true. Sometimes there is simply no bridge left between the two hearts. We can try to rebuild it, but that’s not always possible or desired. With our lessons learned, we move on to build a new bridge somewhere else. The hope is that the bridges we form get more stable and nourishing over time.” Jeff Brown
