Move along sister.
"Even as I lived it, that first autumn in the adult world felt as vivid as memory: bright and breezy and so warm that I strolled bare-legged into October and a future that at last seemed mine to inscribe, thrilled through and through. If he had felt something of that, we probably would have lasted a little longer, though I don't kid myself that we wouldn't have outgrown each other sooner rather than later. Besides, I'd fallen for another -- my heart now belonged to boundless, inconstant possibility. Had I been seduced by the fickle idea that someone more perfect might be waiting around the corner? I had, but it wasn't only that -- I also believed a more perfect me could be waiting there, too, just beyond the turn in the road." ~Hephzibah Anderson, Chastened
