fav quotes: “and it is both beautiful and heartbreaking to imagine this, that we go on living while a past version of ourselves remains locked, peacefully, in a euphoric dream… but that our exit is where the dreaming begins, and our real actual living is the place where we remain at our most joyous, time moving forward by small inches, each of us growing only seconds older with each passing year.”
