I’d rather leave tonight while the bands still playing, with gratitude in my heart for the dance.

"When you choose to live life open, in total truth, there is certain vulnerability just under the surface. You need to make peace with that feeling, that insight that you have, even when it’s really hard to do. The “If thens…” in life that you used to play out over and over in your mind become meaningless, you traded them in for gratitude and acceptance, knowing that you already have everything you need." - ts
