There were events in his life that were keep on repeating. More or less they causing him pain or unease. He wants a little time to think what they are all about because he sense that he is not learning anything about it. Maybe he is too busy giving his time to these 'something' and yet he is not realizing why these things are happening to him. Maybe he has fall in love so many time but he didn't find the true happiness being in a relationship. Maybe he is loving each of them in his own way not on the way they should be loved. Maybe he is selfish guy - I am not sure. He is tired of these pains and he is deciding to resolve what it is all about., what it is all about to be happy in loving someone/somebody.
