The killer question 

Kylie Robinson

 We had our whole lives ahead of us. We could've gone anywhere, done anything. So why didn't we? Life's funny like that. You live from day to day, “in the moment" as they say now, but it's only when you look back that you realize you should've been thinking further ahead: to now, when you'd be looking back and regretting what you didn't do when it's too late. There's no getting that time back. It's gone. Tragic. Enough to make you cry your eyes out.
