Someone I once knew told me that 'the past can bind a man as surely as irons.' And I guess in a way he was right. You can't change the past, no matter how hard you try.
But, you know, in a way, he was wrong too. You can change the present and the future. I think if we leave the past behind and move on, it can't bind us.
[She glances to the side.] I'm sorry. Maybe it wasn't my place to say anything.
