2)The timeline
3)I'm alone
4)I don't think I can stop drinking
5)I'm messing things up for Janie
6)I've messed them up for everyone else
7)Did I mention the entire mess with Giovan?
8)I'll never have anyone
9)I've quit my job and have no direction anymore
10)The only way I can stop creating problems is to no longer exist.

2) You can't change that you're meant to be a part of the universe. Whatever you believe.
3) Me.
3) The people who care for you.
4) The people you've helped, the missions you've successfully run that made a difference.
6) The countless sunrises over countless horizons.
7) Pangia ice cream on top of the Lumaine falls.
8) The people you've yet to help. The friends you haven't yet made, your unborn children - five hundred thousand, thousand years from now. Who knows?.
9) Every sudden change, every twist and turn of time, every fear and joy and sheer exhilaration that the cosmos flings at us. Those that none of us can control, everything that tells you you're alive.
10) Every time you smile, and realise you're feeling it.
