Its interesting to sift through my own emotional response, just within the last ten minutes, and realize that nothing has come up except my concern for relationships. Am I gonna have to learn how to unlove, how to not be attached? Would I have to get used to the grief of others' deaths if I wanted to connect and share at all anymore?

And your initial response has got to say something about the keywords of your life — kind of like in Sims 3, you can choose whether your Sim's life purpose is Money, Love, Career, etc? (Excuse me. My nerd is showing.) We definitely don't have ten thousand years, so why don't we spend the next 80-or-so doing only that which matters most – exploring, relaxing, supporting one's posse, whatever.
