Tijuana is a preindustrial city talking about changing, moving forward, growing. Yet they form a single metropolitan area.

Once you see this, it's an amazing breakthrough, and that is the starting place for moving away from dualistic thinking.

Life moves in one direction only - and each day we are faced with an actual set of circumstances, not with what might have been, not with what we might have done, but with what is, and with where we are now- and from this point we must proceed; not from where we were, not from where we wish we were - but from where we are.

Sarah Dessen

Some people, they can't just move on, you know, mourn and cry and be done with it. Or at least seem to be. But for me... I don't know. I didn't want to fix it, to forget.

Respecting and remembering and getting on at the same time.

Life went on. We knew that better than anyone.
