64 " I had a few glorious moments where my ignorance really was bliss, and then reality punched me in the gut. Like when you wake and think it’s a weekend, but it’s not. It’s a weekday, and you should have been at work an hour ago. Multiply that sensation by a hundred. "

73 " Imagine the ability to let go of everything. To step back from the expectations of life, let it all slip through your fingers as though none of it mattered.
