Quote by Karl Kristian Flores

“I hate running into people. They take the random places. That door over there. Fuck that door. It was an hour before class on the first day and Justin came out right as I was walking in. Bumped in and scared the ba- Jesus out of me and every time I walked into that door, I remembered him. For four years that space belonged to that moment. It’s like everywhere we walk, all we see internally is a landmark of people and moments you’ll never have again.”

She might lose the ability to recall the exact smell of Wind Song. She might even forget about the reading glasses altogether after a while, as much as it pained her to admit it. She knew that she could not sustain her life fuelled only by the memories of those she once loved. Loss would not propel her forward. She had to go out and live. She had to find new people.”

“.. an understanding that choices, once made, are absulote, that the realm of freedom exists only in the present and in the future, and that more harm than good is done in reimagining that some choice in the past might have been dismissed in favour of a better option. This kind of thinking will lead only to regret, to the rotting of a man from inside out.”
