It's a great time to be alive.

For a person who's lost himself in the present and is unsure of what to do in the future, meeting people from your past is a good place to start. It's not that they have the answers, but they do give you some new perspective to see exactly where you are right now. Talk to them just a little, and you remember the little things that you've compromised along the way. Talk to them long enough, and you might just remember something important. Something you forgot.

Details of who you are and dreams have a lot in common. The same way you forget a dream you had the moment you wake up, you forget details almost instantly - and you'll usually realize them a little too late. And exactly like dreams, remembering details about yourself can become a little tricky. There is no way to be sure if the information you've gathered about yourself is real, or a collection of something that sounds real. The trick is to not focus on the details from then on. It's a lot more important to focus on what the details mean. Figuring out what the information could be for is oftentimes more advantageous than actually learning the information. Now you have a goal. The only challenge now is to get there.

Spend enough time running and you realize that a lot of what is chasing you is all in your head. That's when you realize: You weren't supposed to be running away. You were supposed to be getting somewhere.
