It might be true that everyone in the world has ‘the one that got away’. It might also be true that we think about them often, wondering what could have been, wishing things turned out differently, so you could stay together. It might also be true that this ‘first love’ is nothing more than a…

Life! Just do it. Make stuff. Break stuff. Move, think, create, destroy. Experience pain and joy. Waste as little of it as possible. Our time is limited, don’t let others make it more so.
