QUOTE : You will see it coming. Not you actually because you don't see for yourself yet, everyone is busy seeing for you, days filled with unsolicited advice you don't take and trite warnings you can't hear and the whitewashing of all your excitement. Yes, they definitely saw it coming, exactly the way it came.<br /><br />When you're older you will know that at some unconscious level not only did you see it coming, but you created it, in your own blind, stumbling way. You will console yourself with the fact that it wouldn't have mattered, seeing it or not seeing it. You were a sponge for incident. Maybe everyone is when they're young. They just don't remember, nobody remembers what it feels like to be so recklessly absorbent.<br /><br />When you can't see in front of you life is nothing but surprises. Looking back, there were truly so few of them.
