I finally have some things that I didn't have for the past weeks. Options and a plan of action. Of course this means that I may have to sacrifice some dreams and comforts but I would accept that (not gladly) for a bit of direction and a bit of space for everything and everyone. A lot of space, actually.

Some things I learned from thinking too much:

• Philosophizing may answer a lot of questions but it does give solutions. And no money can ever come from such a hobby.
• People come and people go. People leave because people choose. Some people have coping abilities that makes use of optimism in all forms and to astounding degrees but I am a cynic and a little bit jaded. I cope by convincing myself that the person never existed. After the hard part, it's easier to forgive.
• Cigarette smoke does not repel mosquitoes. Learned this more from experience than thought.
• In the future, there is only the past.
• Dreams can be your battlefield. Literally. It's where you can shoot a gun and nobody gets hurt.
• Music CAN save you. The right kind of music.
• If I stay in one place too long, I become bitter and self-absorbed.
