Perfect Strangers (Language, Violence and Big-Kid Stuff)

[[Desolate Divine]]

A few months back, I heard a song by a band called the Color Morale called Perfect Strangers which stood out to me. The song is basically around wanting to have a chance to start over with a person, which resonates with me, as there are definitely people I wish I could start over with completely afresh. Some of the lyrics are

Maybe if we could just start over
Go back to when we were just perfect strangers
I could reintroduce myself
As someone I'm a hell of a lot more happy with

And I want to say goodbye, but in my head I said goodnight
I'll always find a way to mess up good things in my life
Close your eyes on the chapter and this night
I know you've tried to read me, but I threw that page away, oh-oh
But I threw that page away

On my way home when I was listening to this, I had an idea for a story based around this idea of wanting a do-over. So when I got home I started writing.
