"You've got nothing to lose. Many people don't allow themselves to love, precisely because of that, because there are a lot of things at risk, a lot of future and a lot of past. In your case, there is only the present."
- Veronika decides to die by Paulo Coelho
------
the present's really all we've got; we can't bring the past back or push the future forward, so in the end we can only do things while we're in the here and now.
