“I guess it's a choice we make," she said."What's a choice?" I asked.And she said, "How much of the world we let in.”
“In Sliding Doors, the whole idea is that every choice you make, and every single thing that happens to you changes the trajectory of your life, and once you are put on that trajectory, there is no way back.
