“But how could he have known? We can’t know the future; we can only know the past. Does that young man in the U-Haul envision his older self: yes, but it is a grand self.

He certainly doesn’t envision a middle-aged man, alone and weeping the edge of a church in a place where he was his best self, acknowledging the impossibility of returning to the self he once was in order to change the future. And even if he could return, would he do anything differently?”
― Michael Ruhlman
