I stuck my tongue out before I could stop myself. Like perennials, old habits die hard.

I love that Alessia, Lyra, and Connor can travel through time to undo mistakes and right wrongs. Test theories and change universes. That there’s nothing broken that can’t be fixed, and nothing so irreparably damaged that it can’t be given a second chance. That they can survive. If history functioned like that, we’d all be a lot better off.

You once told me that every choice we make has good and bad consequences, and that we can only hope the good outweighs the bad. I don’t think that’s all of it. Every choice we make creates a new opportunity for a better world. We’re not changing the world ourselves, and we don’t have to. We just have to keep giving it a second chance. We just have to keep giving ourselves second chances too.
