Trying to discern which exactly went into my luggage before leaving for Shanghai:

Shattered ideals or detour to betterment?
(It can also be that shattering was necessary for my own good.)

Just a phase or an indelible feeling?
(A phase that lingered a little too long perhaps.)

Consistently serious or occasionally fun?
(I am fun but still a little serious for some audiences.)

Finding the right one or enjoying the wrong ones?
(Unless proven otherwise, but not for me to prove.)

Service or self-satisfaction?
(Should be both, I believe.)
