I’ve become obsessed with writers, most of whom are ironically dead, who expressed onto pages a similar dissatisfaction with the world, who had the same questions burning in their mind about life..

pavorst:
I am not meant to live a normal life. I am not here to be a satisfied man, or work towards some grand and meaningful cause. I cannot see into the future, nor hold a stake in it. A plan placed longer than a year into the future crumbles into dust in my hands. To make sense of it all, you and I must cast aside our preconceptions, and think of it differently than before.
