Self-examination is usually a half-hearted, spontaneous thing we do when we're either scared or bored.

lost ifs
Yo can always take back the lost parts of yourself if you can find and recognize them.
falling-in-love optimistic men
Buying a pair of shoes is one of the most optimistic acts I know, next to falling in love. I like nothing better than to see an old man wearing a brand new pair of brogues or cap-toed oxfords, preferably jaunty orange-brown, unscuffed, heels unworn. We want to be here tomorrow, but buying new shoes, like falling in love, says I plan on being here tomorrow.
