“Life is made of moments and choices. Not all of them matter, or have any lasting impact Then there's a different kind of moment. One when things are irrevocably changed by a choice we make. A moment we will play endlessly in our minds on lonely nights and empty days So we explain it to ourselves, justify it enough to sleep.

But as much as we wish it were different, the truth is, our worlds are sometimes balanced on choices we make and the secrets we keep.”

As soon as your breath takes on the form of a room, you are a carpenter; you're not God.”
