Closing it
I think I need to close issues/matters without over-thinking the situation. The fundamentals have to agree. The feeling has to be right and straight from the gut. The basics have to match.
And then, its time to close it. And move on with a view only to the future.

Dont forget the pieces...they'll fit into the Jigsaw later
Many events in my life seem to be disjointed. But, forgotten past events/people suddenly come into play without announcement. And they play a role in the present and future.
So, although there are disjointed events in my past, they will fall into perfect alignment into the Great Jigsaw of Life when the time is right.

Cut the crap, hit the road
Ok, this "finding myself" thing is gonna take a long time. And when I do find myself, I might have already changed.
So, its time to hit the road, and keep thinking, keep discovering. And keep running.

Issues...
Issues will always be there boss. Issues will always be there.
That's why, strive for excellence, not perfection. Reduces time with battling insignificant or irrelevant issues as well.

Preparation: Me or Life?
Am I preparing to lead my life? Or is life preparing to lead me to something I am not aware of...?

Experience with online marriage sites
Disclaimer: I havent really done justice with using these sites with full functionality. (online chat, voip calls, horoscope-match, etc, etc - i am too cheap to pay for something i am not convinced about)
The marriage websites have actually helped me understand what I am really looking for in a match. And they have disappointed me thoroughly with raw data, thoroughly standardized descriptions of oneself and what one is looking for. Descriptions of oneself and one's expectations couldn't get more boring than this.
Samples :
"I am a down to earth girl looking for a down to earth guy" - WTF ??!!
"I am a humble, well-mannered girl looking for a humble well-mannered guy" - BALLS!!
"I am A, B, C. He should be X, Y, Z. " - Yeah, that makes sense.
"He should be Non-smoking, non-drinking" - WoooHoo!! All the best in your search!
It's quite sad that the expectations are nowhere in line with reality or with a view to the future. Static report-cards are presented on the website and I can close my eyes and shoot out "Express-Interests" since the" MOULD of a Good Groom" is so bloody predictable!
The only thing these websites have done is that they have made the match-makers go online. Much like one can buy bread and eggs online instead of at the store - one can find matches online instead of in the temple's marriage-register. Much more convenient, no doubt about it.
Although, what these sites have made me realize is that I am not looking for a standard wife. At least I know that about myself now.
Also, it has made me realize, quite sadly so, that I spend slightly more time going through profiles of better looking women than those who are not. That's a truth about myself I have realized. This fact though has not made me put up a better looking picture of myself! :) My mom cant understand why I've put up a what-she-calls-silly picture. I guess deep down, I want to get rejected online.
And find someone who is not a static report-card.

The mind is the heaviest part of the body
My mind is very heavy these days. Way too many thoughts - I even think in my sleep. I realized that my mind is weighing me down - and thats why my body is moving slower since the past many months. Too many heavy thoughts are taking their toll on the speed the body used to have earlier.
Things have to change. Time to join the gym. Time to meditate.
Lighter body, Lighter mind.

Too many thoughts
One day at a time.
If there's not the FULL effort going in, it's not worth it.
What is worth it?
Never say never again.
Who knows.
From here on, its a new day.
Past is History.
