All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter into another.
Don't just fight in the North or the South. Always imagine every battle in your mind, where everyone is both your enemy and your friend, and all possible events happen simultaneously. That way, nothing will take you by surprise, and everything that happens will be something you've already imagined.
