"There are moments when you saw sparks that weren't really there, felt stars aligning without having proof, saw your future before it happened, and then saw it slip away without any warning. The ones that went from zero to a hundred miles per hour and then hit a wall and exploded. And it was awful. And ridiculous. And thrilling. And when the dust settled, it was something I'd never take back. Because there is something to be said for being young and needing someone so badly, you jump in head first without looking. And there's something to be learned from waiting all day for a train that is never coming. And there's something to be proud of about moving on and realizing that love shines golden, and doesn't fade or spontaneously combust."
