Prior to the Vampire Diaries television series, I was a huge FAN of the books. L.J Smith told these crazy, fantastical stories that I couldn’t help but fall for. My love for the television series dwindled in the early seasons, however, with the show ending I needed to know how the storyline came to a close…

I have always believed words find you when they are meant to…and oh gosh, did this these words ever speak to my heart!

“This life will be good and beautiful, but not without heartbreak. In death comes peace, but pain is the cost of living. Like love, it’s how we know we’re alive.”

“I know peace exists, it lives in everyone we hold dear. That is the promise of peace — that one day, after a long life, we find each other again.”
