"we really do need both the bitter and the sweet,...a life of nothing but sweetness rots both your teeth adn your soul. Bitter is what makes us strong, what forces us to push through, what helps us earn the lines on our faces and the calluses on our hands. Sweet it nice enough, but bittersweet is beautiful, nuanced, full of depth and complexity. Bittersweet is courageous, gutsy, earthy.
...when life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate. And when life is bitter, say thank you and grow."
