“But the pop-up suburb has an incomplete feel to it like something that just wasn't right, wasn't quite real, almost like a movie set.

“Now I must live with the consequences of the choice I made. And I will not call it the wrong choice. That would be foolish and pointless.

I have come to understand that that is what life is all about-a journey and the courage and energy always to take the next step and the next without judgement about what was right and what was wrong.”
