Colliding With Fate

by A.E. Valdez

“We don’t always have to let our walls down completely. Sometimes all we need is a little light to shine through the cracks to make a difference.”

“You know,” I say, “there’s nothing for you in the past. No matter how much you think it through, there’s not a single thing you can do to change it. We have right now–this moment.

That’s what matters.” It’s part of the reason I am a “walking chill pill” as Quinn says. The future isn’t here yet and the past is long fucking gone. Why dwell in either when I can make the most of the moment I’m in?

Live and soak up every single moment. Lean into them, even the moments that terrify you. That’s how you know you’re alive.”

“Sometimes the only way to the light is through the darkness. But there will be little beacons of light along the way that will help see you through. There is a duality of dark and light. Remember, we can’t shine without the dark.”
