Meet me in the pouring rain,
take away the pain.
I have gained an understanding that my choices, once made, are absolute, 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. That kind of thinking has led me only to regret, to the rotting of my insides. I tend to chew life into pieces to make it easier for me to swallow, but what seems very clear to me now is that life is a jawbreaker and to be fair to the things I experience ... I have to gulp.
