I only ever needed one

My opposing force. My counterweight.

Where does it reside? Within myself or somewhere outward? And how much do I want it? I don't want to be unhinged but I do wish to be unleashed.

I dunno, maybe I'm being overly dramatic. There's so much I want to do and I feel capable of doing that I don't think can ever happen because my generation got sincerely fucked. Like, royally messed up. Which is sad because it wasn't even our fault; we were the children of economic theory we'd never, as a group, go for.

I think people won't be able to retire anymore. I think we all just have to work until we die now. I think the next generation won't even be able to buy houses; the idea of a property-ownership society will radically change and concentrate to those who got in before the last default crisis and those lucky enough to get rich or inherit. Which sounds disturbingly like fiefdom.

And I'm coming at this from the left, which is the worst part, because it sounds like talk radio bullshit.

All I want to do is write and I think that's what I'm going to put extra focus on right now. I've got piles of pages but never really bothered seeing any of it to its end because I was always exceptionally employable in other avenues, but I kinda would rather be valued for something that I at least care about if everything else is dying off anyway.
