“Your past is yours and yours alone. Embrace it. Own it. It will never leave you. But if you own it, at least you can decide what it is made of. You decide what you carry with you and what you leave behind. Your shadow can be a burden or a gift. But only you can decide.”
― Austin Steel, Entanglement of a Soul

“Who says reincarnation has to be linear? I mean, the whole idea of a soul leaving a body, leaving the boundaries of physical space and time, why would it have to come back after the point in time it left? Why couldn't our reincarnations overlap?”

“No, most people prefer the question to the answer these days. And so, they oscillate. Back and forth between repenting, swearing to change, and then falling back into their accustomed life of sin. What of the man who perpetually oscillates between repentance and sin? Is his final judgment merely subject to the
moment of his death?”

“When I was younger, I used to feel like I was constantly trying to escape my past. Always running. It followed me everywhere I went, though. Like a shadow I could never shake. And for a long time, I kept on running. I kept trying to lose my shadow. Even after I realized what I was doing, it was easier to keep running from my shadow than to face it. You can live in the darkness of society for years, trying to escape that shadow. There, in the darkness, at least no one can see it. No one knows it's with you but you. You still know it's there even though you can't see it.”
