Okay. Carolyn, you are the star of a movie. This is the part of the movie where you get your heart broken. Where the world tests you, and people treat you like shit. But it has to happen this way. Otherwise, the end of the movie, when you get everything you want, won’t feel as rewarding. There are assholes out there, but in the end, they don’t matter. Because this movie’s not about them. It’s never been about them.”

How do I not become an arsehole? Just try and stay honest. Cause once you start lying, it's very hard to stop. When you are young, you think that everybody out there really... really get you! But you know... actually only a handful of them do! All the people who like you, despite your faults. And then if you discard them, they will never come back! So when you meet those people, you just hold on to them...really, really tightly. And don't let them go!

Black holes are considered to be the hellmouths of the universe. Those who fall inside, disappear forever. But, where to? What is it that exists behind a black hole? What other things vanish there, along with space and time? Or, are space and time tied together as part of an endless cycle? What if everything from the past was actually influenced by the future?
We are searching for the thread of Ariadne so that it can guide us on the right path and act as a beacon in the darkness. We would love to know what our fate will be, just where we are headed.

Man is a strange creature. All his actions are motivated by desire, his character forged by pain. As much as he may try to suppress that pain, to repress the desire, he cannot free himself from the eternal servitude to his feelings. For as long as the storm rages within him, he cannot find peace. Not in life, not in death. And so he will do what he must, day in, day out. The pain is his vessel, desire his compass. It is all that man is capable of.

Isn't this stubbornness in our striving what distinguishes us from animals, that know only short term desire. And throughout the ages is not this unquenchable thirst at the heart of any progress that is ever made? No matter what motivates our will, it guides us on our path. We'll only be able to let go, once we have finally reached our goal.
A man provides. And he does it even when he is not appreciated or respected or even loved! He simply bears up and does it, because he is a man!

It's your choices that make who you're far more than your abilities or true nature.
You have always excelled, not because you craved for success, but because of your fear of failure. But, it's precisely what keeps you from greatness. Arrogance and fear still keeps you from learning the simplest and most significant lessons of all.
