How can people be so happy being and doing nothing worthwhile? Am I the one missing the message, trying to be something great so hard that I'm missing this empty happiness? I don't want empty happiness. I wonder everyday why I am the way I am, why do I think like I do, why do I look at other people and see their drunken smiles and question why I simply cannot be the same? These first few years after high school have opened my eyes to who I am, but I still cannot define myself, and if anyone can I ask you please to do so. Why college? Why get a job and fall in with the rest of the American lemmings working for their next paycheck. I've realized a lot of people do it because they have to and these type of people still dream and want something more, but what about the others who are completely content doing whatever it is they were assigned. When are they going to wake up and realize that there are things, people, and places in this world worth working for? I recently woke up and realized I had to do something to change my direction. I've had a sign hanging on the door to the room of my life for a few years now that simply reads "Lost in Transition." "Oh, you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you - gently, with love, and hand your life back to you." Thank you Tennessee Williams for your wisdom, for, right now, I am one of those people.

I'll see all of you on the other side.
