“I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.” -Lord Tennyson ‘In Memoriam’ And with this, we have reached the conclusion of Tuck Shop. While opinions may differ, some may love it while others may not. Endings are always bittersweet; perhaps that's why we dread to part. Words alone cannot fully express the depth of my gratitude for such a wonderful and compassionate audience, as all of you have been. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for accompanying me on this remarkable journey. This is not the end, but rather a new beginning, and within me lie many untold stories that yearn to be heard. I hope you will once again patiently wait for me. Love Sonia

“... For everything that’s lovely is But a brief, dreamy, kind delight. O never give the heart outright, For they, for all smooth lips can say, Have given their hearts up to the play. ...”

They say that Indifference is the key, but I do not know how to sit in silence without love, For I’ll always be … the more loving one.,
