“the past is so hard to shift. It comes with us like a chaperon, standing between us and the newness of the present - the new chance.”
“Our obsession with birth, by shifting us to a point before our past, robs us of our pleasure in the future, in the present, and even in the past.”
“Anna's eyes soften, and the stubborn tears begin to recede. The way she stands, the way she breathes, I know she wants to come closer. New knowledge fills up the air between us and neither of us wants to breathe it in.”
“Don't be afraid to let your past and present come together to create something new”
“Whatever's between us is that kind of new.”
“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”
