Healers and Heal-Liners If you were to take all your problems and put them in the middle of the circle, and everyone else in the world added their problems as well, you would take your problems back quickly. Love and happiness don’t come to you, you have to go get it. Time doesn’t heal all wounds, you just learn to live with them. The idea of taking life one day at a time is double-edged.
