Was he capable of stopping? Good question, he supposed. He'd been following the same patterns all his life; why should the resolve of an afternoon change anything?
"I think so," he said, then a thought occurred to him and he added with a slightly manic look: "Old habits die hard, but I've died once already. I think my habits can afford to do the same."
As for what the priorities were... "I want to stop spending my time and energy making other people happy. I wasted my whole life trying to do that." Literally, since he was fairly certain the only reason he was here as a spirit at all was because he'd thought, subconsciously, he'd be letting his family down by dying. "I want to do something that makes me happy."
