While I apologize to any would-be readers for my seemingly pessimistic outlook in my writings, I should point out that they are reflective of my feelings, my thoughts and my perspective. Thus it is my hope to rise from the relatively negative mood that I find myself in.
When we were children we had a heightened tendency to let our desires run wild. A lot less seemed impossible to ourselves and we felt that we could take on the world. Then, children like ourselves graduate from some college, or not at all, find a forty-hour dead-end job as an insurance clerk, or a pizza delivery guy or be without employment at all, perhaps resorting to theft to make ends meet. Some of us become pensioners while others die before that time arrives, cheated by a short-sighted system reluctant to do anything other than exploit them in the most base of fashions.
What have you wanted to be? What did you believe that you could achieve? Do you, like myself, still believe that you can achieve great things but feel weighed down by the drudgery of the reality that we find ourselves in? What would it take to get yourself out of that rut? A more healthy and fit body? Access to plastic surgery? A lump sum of money or a stipend? A trial period at a post closer to your dream job?
Seriously… if you managed to identify that which you need to make a success of your life, would you share and let it be known or would you keep it within yourself because you fear that others would simply not understand your ambitions? Would they even question your sanity or seek to drag you down to their own level? They might… and that is but one thing that is truly criminal - the squandering of potential.
