“If it’s over, then don’t let the past screw up the rest of your life.”
“Don’t use your conscious past. Use your creative imagination to create a past that belongs to your character. I don’t want you to be stuck with your own life. It’s too little.”
“Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.”
“When the past has passed from you at last, let go. Then climb down and begin the rest of your life. With great joy.”
“You may have created my past and screwed up my present, but you have no control over my future.”
“Let go, gatito. Mourn and then move on. Your life is not over. Not by any means. So let the tears fall for the past and then we will speak of the future.”
