“If you choose to turn your back, you don't really have a say in what goes on behind it.”
“back turned, you don't have to look at what you've left behind. And the first person who turned their back on you can't watch you break down and cry.”
“It goes without saying that your friends are usually the first to discuss your personal business behind your back.”
“We try to do what's right, or rather what other say is right. But sometimes, when that goes against who we are...you have to choose.”
“People do go back, but they don't survive, because two realities are claiming them at the same time. Such things are too much. You can salt your heart, or kill your heart, or you can choose between the two realities. There is much pain here. Some people think you can have your cake and eat it. The cake goes mouldy and they choke on what's left. Going back after a long time will make you mad, because the people you left behind do not like to think of you changed, will treat you as they always did, accuse you of being indifferent, when you are only different.”
“It is what it is...life. It goes on when we don't want it to. It moves forward when all you want to do is stand still or turn back.”
