Not as a quest. As a place only. Loneliness is often linked to empty roads, but it's not always about not having anyone else around.

You've spent a lot of time dealing with your potential. You pretend to be in charge when you put off tasks by saying "later." You act as if your future is certain and that the opportunities of today will still exist tomorrow. However, you are well aware that life continues anyway.
