When the wind blows and there's a chill in the air
I hope that someone is taking care of you
I'm alright, yeah, I'm really ok
Just so you know I'm always there for you
Help me now, I'm going down
And I don't know if I'll be ok
I'll be around, I'll be in town
If you need a place to stay

this boys too young to be singing the blues

Kettricken smiled.

It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city, she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry

I have the same problem too, but I've been working on it. Today I finished a book I started in June and I'm going to start again on another I started last month.

Is there a good book about self control? Repeating 'just do it' thousand times a day isn't really working for me, I slip into the void again and again

What book to read to maximise my speaking skills?

All I ask is to be left alone. All I ask is let me have my little piece of real estate on this bus. I paid for it—didn’t I?—this minuscule acreage. I have the human decency to stay out of yours. Have you noticed that? You have no concern for the comfort of others. You behind me sticking your nude feet through my leg rest. You beside me whose elbow and knee are well into my territory. The problems of the world can be boiled down to bus etiquette. My fellow man, can you not fathom that if you are uncomfortable in the ridiculously small space allotted to you on this bus that the person next to you might be uncomfortable as well? I don’t believe you can. I don’t believe you have the capacity to think of anything beyond your own animal needs. Or perhaps it’s even more terrible: You can fathom it and you take a certain sadistic pleasure in the subtle torture of others, of wielding your large penis sword, as it were, because, yes, you are almost always men. The women call it mansplaining—no, that’s something else—the women call it manspreading, and it makes me ashamed to count myself among this vile sex. My life is bad enough. I’ve lost the most important work of my career. And retrieving it has proved both painful and protracted. And it is even possible I am not remembering it at all, but making it up or even being unduly influenced by an evil hypnotist. Have you considered that, people? No, you haven’t thought to ask me why I am weeping here on this bus. Perhaps it doesn’t interest you. Perhaps you think me pathetic, a grown man weeping like a grown woman (thon). Perhaps you are repulsed by me. Well, perhaps you are the one with the problem, not I. Perhaps you are the repulsive one. Perhaps you have never cared enough about anything in your life to weep at its loss. If that is the case, it is I who pity you. You will go through your brutish existence experiencing the small pleasures of taking things that are not yours, going places you are not welcome, sticking your elbow into the legally purchased space of another. Then you will die. Congratulations: That is your life. I hope you are happy with it. I hope you don’t regret, on your deathbed, that you never felt love, or joy, or loss. Yes, loss. There is a profound sweet melancholy in the experience of loss. It is the most delectable and pungent spice on the spice rack of life. Too bad you won’t taste it, buddy. I guess it doesn’t go with burgers and beer.
