However, the trouble with getting what you've always wanted is that once you have it, you have to worry that you'll lose it.
Katherine CenterAnything was possible. Everything was uncertain. But I knew one thing for sure: I'd bounced back before, and I would do it again and again and again. Because that's the only choice there is. And as many things as I still had to lose, I had just as many more left to find.
