That morning I woke up at 6:58, two minutes before the alarm. I lay there and waited for it to ring. And it rang. We both did our jobs.

I still don't know why I remember it in such detail. I used to forget what I'd had for dinner the night before. And now I remember the whole morning minute by minute, as if someone had laid it out on a table and labeled every piece. Apparently I have a lot of free time now.

All my life I have consciously and unconsciously strived for different things. Consciously, I pursued the goals society set for me: make money, be useful, have children, and so on.

My unconscious goal was always the same: to challenge myself and try to succeed. It might seem that my conscious and unconscious goals complement each other perfectly, and in part that's true. The only question is which challenges I chose for myself.

> Is it a sign?

Either this is a too simple thought that is framed too complicated, or I did not understand anything.

Most likely, I didn't understand anything.

He was a dark-haired, tall (about two meters tall) man with a loose beard. He sported black pants and a black T-shirt with an inscription that I did not remember.

He was sitting in the seat next to me on the plane. As he showed his phone to his friend across the aisle, his hand almost touched my nose. It didn't annoy me. It was either my fatigue from the events that had recently happened to me, or his athletic physique. Muscular people taller than me seem like giants to me, and I automatically try not to show them any disrespect.
