“Not to wish too hard for a shift in circumstances since it never happens as you imagine.”
“If you didn't remember something happening, was it because it never had happened? Or because you wished it hadn't?”
“And that for every negative event or coincidence that has happened since, imagining that you triggered them, that you made them happen makes you feel like you possess a degree of control that you don't have.”
“It is hard to be defensive toward a danger which you have never imagined existed.”
“The Earth is an animal that shakes off its fleas when they dig too deep, bite too hard. It shifts and our cities fall; it sighs and the coasts are overtaken.”
“I imagine what would happen if everyone turned their regrets into wishes, went around shouting them.”
