Utterances of a Disgruntled Self

Well, here it is, my final year of college. I can say that it certainly flew by fast, and what a blur it has been.

Unfortunately, I feel nothing of substance as I sit here on my computer—no solace in knowing that I have a good job lined up: no relationship and a smattering of true friends. Was it meant to end up this way? Was the total focus on classes and interviews worth it? I feel that a point has been reached, upon which, no return is increasingly imminent. I must change, I must. But I can't; the severity of my degraded self is insurmountable. I feel ashamed that most social interaction hardly involves the real me. I suppose I could escape this given a miracle, but that is the problem miracles are scarce. That is their very nature. I will sign off now, back to my lonesome self, a self that feels hollow and resolute in its brokenness.

Get aspirations, set goals, hit up the gym, challenge yourself daily, eat green foods, work hard play hard. Hydrate all day. Good luck.
