We take this very seriously. Bumping as a fresh reminder!
“I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then."
- Lewis Carroll







He saw it in her eyes. The anguish, the frustration. The terrible nothing that clawed inside and sought to smother her. She knew. It was there, inside. She had been broken. Then she smiled. Oh, storms. She smiled /anyway/. It was the single most beautiful thing he'd seen in his entire life.
— Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance
