It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry, that we are moving up, rather than out. ↗

It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn't matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over. ↗
