"life is not a highway. life is a staircase"
"you just gotta keep climbing"
"otherwise, if you overthink it, you have trouble taking the next step"
"there are no branching paths"
"no point in regretting the actions you didn't take"
"they say life is a series of choices, but that's nonsense cooked up by the old and bitter"
"yesterday leads to today, and today leads to tomorrow"
