ups and downs.

"There is a universal truth we all have to face, whether we want to or not, everything eventually ends ... Last day of summer, the final chapter of a great book, parting ways with a close friend. But endings are inevitable, Leaves fall, you close the book. You say goodbye ... But just because we're leaving, and that hurts, there's some people who are so much a part of us, they'll be with us no matter what. They are our solid ground. Our North Star. And the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us … always."

- Alexis Castle (Castle, Season 4 finale, "Always")

Some days are a lot easier than others.
