  8. certain poems, or their lines do carry their echoes within you, like a quote that lingers, or a statement of principle.

  11. lessons in talking to phd researchers and doctors and lecturers on the possibility of me further pursuing education: while I might not need novelty, i must be willing to discover how hard it is to work alone. knowing your limit and reaching out for help for further guidance and collaboration – this is what eventually is the pursuit of knowledge.
  12. have you ever thought, the older you become, the more scattered your brain is?
  13. embracing the fact that I am depressed (temperamentally), not to invite pity, but to treat it as a flue or fever that your mood needs boosting, perhaps this is a key to recovery?
