Seems like I should be getting somewhere

"Runaway train never going back, wrong way on a one way track. Seems like I should be getting somewhere, somehow I'm neither here no there."

Work continues to frustrate me, life continues to drag on, and school, well school is starting to look hard. Or perhaps the class load I took on was entirely ridiculous? Math truly makes my brain hurt. People make my brain hurt. A lot.

There are so many people my age who are struggling with the realities of life and don’t know what they should do in certain situations. This continues to leave me dumbfounded. How is it that I, someone so broken and so completely lost, have somehow managed to grasp the reality of things well or decent enough to know when changes need to be made?

Okay, so I really suck at studying and getting homework done. I hate it. And I’m less inclined to shovel the sidewalk after a major snow storm. But, when I know I’m sinking, I find ways to stay up. I ditch the things I love, no matter how heart breaking it is. (The Star Wars Boys) And I pick myself up and I find away.

Why is my generation floundering around looking for bait, looking for the easy way, when our parents and the people before them worked hard to get the things they want? Am I the only one unsatisfied with the personification that the 20-somethings are presenting to the nation? I feel like we’re all a bunch of pansies.

"Little out of touch, little insane, just easier than dealing with the pain."

One of my favorite quotes is "Hungry for love, thirsty for life and much to full on the pain". I think our generation looks at the negatives and can never seem to find any light at the end of the tunnel, so instead we look to others to solve all these problems for us.

I can definitely get behind that statement. I agree completely.
