But if there is a state where the soul can find a resting-place secure enough to establish itself and concentrate its entire being there, with no need to remember the past or reach into the future, where time is nothing to it, where the present runs on indefinitely but this duration goes unnoticed, with no sign of the passing of time, and no other feeling of deprivation or enjoyment, pleasure or pain, desire or fear than the simple feeling of existence, a feeling that fills our soul entirely, as long as this state lasts, we can call ourselves happy, not with a poor, incomplete and relative happiness such as we find in the pleasures of life, but with a sufficient, complete and perfect happiness which leaves no emptiness to be filled in the soul. Such is the state which I often experienced on the Island Of Saint-Pierre in my solitary reveries, whether I lay in a boat and drifted where the water carried me, or sat by the shores of the stormy lake, or elsewhere, on the banks of a lovely river or a stream murmuring over the stones. (Rousseau 1979: 88 - 89)

diagnostics.
diseases.
cancerous thoughts.
the blame and pride.
your words and actions.
blood clots and broken veins.
respiratory effectiveness in the lungs.
polluted brain cells
broken wings and lost hopes...
its Death coming for me.

They say that those who live in their past never move forward, well I can assure you that is a fact. The more I think about my actions in the past the more I want to change. Then again, I’ve always considered my past to be more decent and more satisfying than my present. Of course, there is always hope. When you hope for over twenty-two years you have no choice but to grow tired of it; that is, of course, if there was never a positive change while doing so. Once again, I ask myself “where do I go from here?”.
The mind of an Aquarian is always abstract and has many ideas to share. Stating this, the amount of goals I wish to accomplish are in great numbers; however, as also an Aquarian, I lack the stamina or effort, if you will, to accomplish even one. At least not after being ousted from the greatest unity of all: family.
