In our twenties, when there is still so much time ahead of us, time that seems ample for a hundred indecisions, for a hundred visions and revisions—we draw a card, and we must decide right then and there whether to keep that card and discard the next, or discard the first card and keep the second. And before we know it, the deck has been played out and the decisions we have just made will shape our lives for decades to come.

“The lizard wakes up and finds he’s the last lizard alive.
His family and friends are all gone.
Those he didn’t like, those who picked on him in school are also gone.
The lizard is all alone. He misses his family and friends. Even his enemies.
It’s better being with your enemies than being alone. That’s what he thought.
Staring at the sunset, he thinks: What is the point in living, if I don’t have anyone to talk to?
But even that thought doesn’t mean anything
when you’re the last lizard.”
From The Last Life in the Universe, and the inspiration for my new tattoo.
I will marry anyone who shows up outside my window with a working Tardis.
