But you only get so many do-overs in this life, so many chances to, if not change your past, alter your future.

Conciseness is underrated

Something had changed in me, even if I didn't know what it was just yet. All I could think was that I felt alive for the first time.

How ballsy it was to just assume you know, with one glance, the things another person could live without. As if it was the same for everyone, that simple.

Because this is what happens when you try to run from the past. It just doesn’t catch up, it overtakes … blotting out the future.

Don't think or judge, just listen.

That was the thing. You never got used to it, the idea of someone being gone. Just when you think it's reconciled, accepted, someone points it out to you, and it just hits you all over again, that shocking.
