“That’s the thing: You can change things. You can repair mistakes. You can restart your whole life if you have to.

But some things you never get back. Certain people. Certain moments in time when you don’t know better than to shield your heart.

You don’t see those moments coming, you don’t know it when they’re happening, but later, as the plainness of life begins to show itself, you realize how important they were. You understand who really changed you, who made you what you are.”
― Blake Nelson, Recovery Road

“The city’s more beautiful at night, you know: the people of the night always tell the truth.”
