For those that I wasn't able to tag on Facebook..

Losing loved ones as well as being fully aware of the fading of amorous feelings. And being forgotten.

Addiction which leads to often being visited by my good friend Depression. Also, I hate that I can only write well when I am in the mood to write.

7. What is your current state of mind?
Almost blue, almost me, almost you.

8. What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
Moderation. I know it's better for you in the long run but I've always been much more fond of extremes.
