About This Quote

What if time worked the other way around? What if what his adolescent self had felt then was the ghost of his present one, sitting here on a sagging bench, beckoning him into his future? To go back in time and experience things all over again means you can change the outcome. For instance, if you were to go back in time and tell yourself not to get involved with an abusive partner, you wouldn’t end up in that abusive relationship. If you were to go back in time and do anything differently, you would be living a happier life.
