Sometimes I can't help but feel bitter about the fact that some people just have it way too easy. I hardly know what easy is.. I work hard for everything I have and I like a lot of things. Sure, that ends up with a result of me having a few key things and being more stressed out than I probably need to be in the end, but that is how it goes. I live with that fact. However, when trying to better yourself, why must you jump through so many hoops? It's pretty annoying. Besides having to please so many random fucking people, you have to somehow come up with the money to take care of school if mommy and daddy weren't helping you out. Sometimes not even both. Well off people do their best to continue the trend. As such, few people learn the necessity of working hard for the things you want. Instead, everything is meant to be easy, and the decisive decisions surrounding each everyday choice are geared towards keeping things simple and maintaining success that wasn't necessarily self-earned. It sickens me on many levels, but on many levels I can't help but admire the fact that the system is there, works, and runs a good chunk of our elitist nation. It's always the well-to-do people who really get recognition, power, and overall success in this world. The system is designed to keep you either up, or down. By god, I may have started down, but you'd better believe I intend to be on the up and up. I may not have everything in this world that I want, but I can live with that. I can continue to drive myself towards my goals, working myself to the bone, because I like it. Because it is my method, it is my endurance, it is my glory. One day, I shall have mine... when I do, I will be surely set to prove that I'm not like everyone else...
