Heart-breaking and vivid: this is the kind of newspaper writing that I can’t forget easily.
So, I know it's silly.
I forgot and hopped onto the first Metro car today and as soon as the train pulled away from the station, my heart rate doubled.
Tumblr, I kiss your feet.
You did it! If I missed you, throw a rock at me. I couldn’t add Facebook fans to this list, but THANK YOU.

– Who’s Sorry Now? Six steps to regret-proof your life by Martha Beck in Oprah Magazine
I have moments where I think back and think “what if,” but in general I am most definitely not a linger-in-the-past person. Because I am logical to a fault, it’s easy for me to rationally...
