I unfolded the old letter of her again, reading the squiggly handwritting. She was helping me out of benevolence. It felt like this relationship was inexorable. She might've had a lot of dough, so it isn't surprising she had money to burn helping me like this. Or was it just a bypass for her to get her permission to run for the president in the center? Showing the proof of this kind of stuff is enough to upstage. I need to stop endless counterfactual thinking. Our relationship has reached to its endpoint, ran its course a long time ago. This makes me to introspect. Now it's my turn to help someone. I could replicate what she's done to me. I picked up a coffee table book in my salon. 

We took the road that bypasses the town. 

I'm not at an endpoint of even at a midpoint in my career.
We've reached an an acceptable endpoint in this litigation.

Achiving a goal is an endpoint but it's also just a moment in time something we celebrate and move on.

Aging is an inexorable process.

squiggly lines, squiggly road

I don't know what her job is but she certainly seems to have money to burn.

Thoughts about how an embarrssing event might have turned out differently are known to psycholosits as counterfactual thinking.

I really appreciate my coworkers since I know they try so hard to drill me in the company stuff. When I made some components too stand out from others, they gently pointed out that they shouldn't be prominent. Although I sometimes make little mishaps, I never overshoot, so I thought I was doing pretty well. Once I asked one of them how they're so nice, and they told me they used to criticize others in the team but once their manager gave them this feedback of "don't dish it out if you can't take it" and to other people who like to patronize when they talk. Those condescending culture demoralised the team in general, and he told me they're trying to be an interim manager/advisor to new hires after the manager quit, cause they deserve to be treated nicely, they're not randos, if anything, team mambers. I was flabbergasted, and kinda hit the nail on the head.

The teacher drilled the students in the use of the passive.
An interim solution. An interim government. In the interim.... an interim job, 

It's that patronizing tone of her that I can't bear. STOP patronizing me, I understand as well as you do.

Goverment spending ontinues to overshoot. We overshot our budget this month by 12%

The low salary is very demoralising.

I hate the way he's so condescending to his staff

When he made up his mind on becoming celibate, he obviously he didn't factor in what would be ensuing. It was when he was 12 year old. On the cusp of 20, he was already in colleage, and he started to realise this is not very possible. Seeing that volatile dating experiences of his friends, he naturally started to eager something like that too. And the cinema near the campus was the locale of something happened to him. He was hanging out with his cinephile friend, Joe, and he kinda started to snuggle up with him. He felt something deep down that he want this so bad. But he always was so proud of his tally, and the recency of the body changes of himself was challenging him very much. He was afraid of repercussion of this. Joe found a deprecated hatch on the cinema floor, and they went in there. Later he said "admittedly, I went into the hatch with Joe, but nothing happened. But Joe shared his intimate pictures with him and the picture was worth a thousand words.

He regarded sex outside of marrige as sinful, he remained celibate all his life.
He discribed himself as "a reluctant celibate"

It was by this time last year I first met Jane. I was under treatment of depression. Jane is my neighbour. I thought she was just a lazy but very happy lady never doing anything productive. I didn't really care about her. Once she looked very bummed out and I shared her a piece of chocolate. And that day I think we struck up this precious friendship. She told me she got a job and kicked out right away at work being accused of embezzlement. It was clearly a misunderstanding, but she was too bummed out to rectify the situation and just chose to be fired. Talking with her, we realised we share a common passion, so we decided to start a business and for the last 6 months we blasted through tons of work to found our own company. After the first launch, we got so many orders and now it's a little quite. However we're waiting for a second wave as we update new products to augment our business. We're inspired by nature and we use biomimicry as our strategy. This things radically resurrect me from depression. I'm running and feel like I'm sweating out toxins!

He stood under the shower lathering himself with the soap.

• biomimicry - aims to take inspiration from natural selection solutions adopted by nature and translate the principle to human engineering.

She blasted through her to-do list and finished all the task ahead of schedule.

He would have to find a job to augument his income.

The comment just bummed me out.

If we have a second wave recession...
