i love this!

"'And love is always complicated. But still humans must

try to love each other, darling. We must get our hearts

broken sometimes. This is a good sign, having a broken heart.

It means we have tried for something.'

"I said, 'My heart was broken so badly last time that it still hurts.

Isn't that crazy? To still have a broken heart almost two years

after a love story ends?'

"'Darling, I'm southern Brazilian. I can keep a broken heart going

for ten years over a woman I never even kissed.'"

(from of course - EAT PRAY LOVE by the lovely Elizabeth Gilbert)

Oh, I just love love it ~ a broken heart being a good sign!

... it is.
