All things come to an end.

Everything has to.

Some endings are new beginnings in disguise. Others aren't.

Some are just endings. [He nods.] Those are the tough ones.

A part of life. A part of death. Everyone left behind must find a way to move on or risk wilting away to nothing.

What are you moving on from?

[A smile.] Life. Death. A multitude of things.

There's always something to move on from.

We are all in a perpetual cycle of change.

My point exactly.

Not a lot of people see things that way.

.....I'm Sam.

Of course not.

Brighid.

I mean who can admit that they know their short life will end.....

Brighid. That is....an amazing, incredible name. Brighid, the exalted one.

Or admit they'll live to witness the end of the lives of the ones they love?

Are you Gaelic?

We all live through at least one tragic ending.

No. I just read a lot. Read into things a lot. Interesting things.

Some of us more than one.

I see. Reading is one of life's greatest joys.

Yeah. More than one. A heart break bleeds through but it'll mend.

It is. Sort of one of my things. Reading that is.

Hopefully, yes.

And what are your other things, Sam?

I write songs and play the guitar.

It sounds creative.

It is.

What's your thing?

My thing is constantly changing. For now, it's travel.

Travel. That's a good thing. Where have you been? Please don't say Hawaii, seems a little cliche.

Norway. Greece... I've lived on the East Coast most of my life, but I've driven across the country once before. I'm going to do it again.

Do you take a certain path across the country or just go which ever way the wind takes you?

The wind has very little to do with it. I use a map and go wherever I feel like going.

I'm sorry.
