Up till dawn drinking with strangers.
Up till dawn proccessing messages I don't value.
Up till dawn thinking this over in the back of my head.

This is a very critical time for me, and I have lost sight of this.
I'm 21, and a girl that makes me happy can't be my only direction.
Love is not the accomplishment that I seek to make my mark upon the world.
I must take heed to this fact at all times.
That I am easily blinded by memories of her is now apparent.

Work, lad. Work and embiggen your very soul.
Earn and produce.
Your love will heal and fix you, and in return you'll do the same.
By satisfying eachother's needs you place the same mark on eachother.
That mark you both mean to make upon humanity.
Love, Knowledge, Skill, Gains, Fortune, Progress, this is the order of the things I seek.
I must reverse this list, to provide with certainty that all is achieved.
I will forge a final symbol, representing this lesson, and impact it upon me.
One last time...
