When the time comes to go, it doesn't matter what I know, or what bridges I might burn at the point of no return. When I see her standing there, don't talk "reason". I don't care. Don't think I'll ever learn. I'm at the point of no return. I'll think about it for a long time, but those thoughts aren't worth a dime. It doesn't matter what I discern. I'm at the point of no return. Scrutiny, my brain, the outside world - all those things are quickly hurled. A place inside now has its turn. It's called the point of no return.

Yes, at the point of no return, you think of only what is now. Well done

This is an actual depiction of how I make decisions. I think about it and do research for years, and then, out of the middle of nowhere, suddenly, I just do what I feel like, regardless of what the thinking and research told me.
