Lost Opportunities, Lost Possibilities
“Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of … Continue reading Lost Opportunities, Lost Possibilities
Things
