How did I get here? Where am I going?

It's funny when you become everything you always swore you wouldn't.

It's funny when you realize you don't stand for anything.

No passions.

No motivation to fulfill any dreams you once had.

You soon realize that you aren't even someone you would like to be friends with.

You come to find that every trait you have seemed to inherit is a trait that you hate in others.

Laziness.

Judgement.

An undying need to feel the approval of the people around you.

And then it hits you.

You have every opportunity to change this harsh reality.

If you work a little harder.

Find the strength to change.

This doesn't have to be the way your life plays out.

You can become a better friend.

You can go back to school.

And be the kind of person you are proud of.

Once you realize this you will see that, well,

Everything is awesome.
