A Note
I can count the number of males i know of my age range who read.
Am i missing something?
More and more i wish i was a drone for the next cause, something mindless, something static.
Something that doesn't get recorded in a book. A statistic, or better yet a victim of a brutal mass slaughter, because the sick fact behind this is that everyone will remember the killer, only a friend or relative will remember you were a victim.
I feel like the aftermath, rubble, i laugh and play and rebel. This doesn't make me different. i may be young but to me this world is dead.
And maybe i am dumb. Because quite frankly, i can't see a way out of it. Honestly, i want kids one day, i really do, but i'd feel a gut wrenching guilt to bring them into this world.
Because at the end of the day, think about this.
What kind of world is this when we have to gain freedom and happiness?

I can't remember if you have told me to leave you alone, or not. I've scanned through your posts and find them interesting. Here's someone who thinks and write well. So I'll venture a comment or two.
So, what is your age range? I think it is quite saddening that so few read. Reading expands your mind and makes you sharper. I guess one does not have to read books. But I find it hard to believe a smart and curious person, both signs of a deeper intellect, would not seek to read.
I guess we all want to be remembered. I'm not sure being remembered for infamy is better than nothing, however. I think it is best to try, however you are best gifted with talents and opportunity and interest, to make a difference in your own little place in the world. That's what I seek to do. I'll never be a bigshot, and others can do all that I can do better. Still, each as an individual collection of all he/she may be, you and I are unique and certainly have opportunity to make a difference.
Sorry about the meandering. Just got up, and still a bit sleepy eyed.

If you'll give it a few years, I think your views will change dramatically!!! You might have to move away from where you are now, but that means new people! new friends! as well as a new life!! then there is that wise saying: "Bloom where you are planted"!! And that doesn't mean the location you might be presently in....maybe you're not quite planted yet!!! Hoping for the best for you!!!
