Despite the fact that I have no regrets about how things turned out in my life, I still can't help wanting to understand my intense relationship with Leo, as well as that turbulent time between adolescence and adulthood when everything feels raw and invigorating and scary-and why those feelings are all coming back to me now.

About This Quote

Despite the fact that I have no regrets about how things turned out in my life, I still can't help wanting to understand my intense relationship with Leo, as well as that turbulent time between adolescence and adulthood when everything feels raw and invigorating and scary-and why those feelings are all coming back to me now. This is a very common complaint people have after a major loss in their lives. The way we use our time in our youth is often reflective of what we will become. When you were young, you had a certain set of emotions and experiences that shaped who you became over time. As you mature, you change in a number of ways, but a lot of your core emotions from your youth still come back when you feel the need to revisit parts of your own life.
