On the cynical side
Indecisiveness is killing the youth in this country and it is definitely killing my strive to learn. No one has any course of action that gives them drive anymore. Take a damn stand for something. Everyone floats around waiting for something to happen to them. All waiting for some profound event that they believe they are entitled to, the moment that will define the rest of their lives. Those moments don’t just happen, they’re not a guarantee. They are forged through the hard and passionate work people put into them. Not that I have any fire underneath my seat. I just know that can’t stand the idea of a mediocre life. The completely structured average house with a mortgage and a white picket fence just bores the hell out of me. It destroys the idea that I will get what I want out of life. Granted I can see the appeal of the security that it offers. A less stress approach to life. But people can try as they may to cut stress out of their lives, people in those situations need to find escape or they are liable to create stress of their own. Divorce, cheating, suburban drug abuse, alcoholism, child abuse, poor parenting, spoiled children; all of these are prevalent in communities that the majority would call “average” and “normal.” Thats why I need to get away for a while. Live off the grid or something. See what real problems afflict the world. I figure that a life of normality will always be waiting for me back here. But what the fuck do I know, I’m just some idealistic jerk with a slow learning ability and the overwhelming feeling that life is going to rock or suck. So I guess go big or go home applies here.
