“I was heading off to my new world. But I was taking a part of my past, and the future, along with me for the ride.”
“But how can I learn to live in a world that doesn’t include my brother? All my life, I’ve always been my brother’s sister; it’s part of my identity, part of who I am. My brother is part of my past; we share a common history. And we had plans for the future.”
“I swear off dating until someone new and amazing sweeps me off my feet and makes me forget all the hard parts of falling in love.”
“I can not travel into my past,without consent of the future me.”
“They're already taking my future! They can't have the things that mattered to me in the past!”
“If, then, my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world.”
