Dark Matter

by Blake Crouch

F. Scott Fitzgerald line: Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.

It’s the beautiful thing about youth. There’s a weightlessness that permeates everything because no damning choices have been made, no paths

committed to, and the road forking out ahead is pure, unlimited potential.

“We all live day to day completely oblivious to the fact that we’re a part of a much larger and stranger reality than we can possibly imagine.”

“When you write something, you focus your full attention on it. It’s almost impossible to write one thing while thinking about another. The act of putting it on paper keeps your thoughts and intentions aligned.”

Until everything topples, we have no idea what we actually have, how precariously and perfectly it all hangs together.

For anyone who has wondered what their life might look like at the end of the road not taken.
