Tired- So Tired

I guess this is the mutual frustration felt by some of you too, that we don't really matter a whole lot. We get to 18, finally we can vote, but it mean anything? All I seam to have is the ability to change a few minds but a lack of ambition seems to prevent me or making me fear actually doing something important.

A fear of failing....

A fear of nobody actually giving a shit....

I want to be alright with where I am, I mean I'm a city employee and a Rotarian, I'm constantly organizing volunteer groups at school, worked at countless fund raisers. But it doesn't seem to matter. I don't want to be the one who makes decisions, I just want to be listened to quite carefully by those that do.

To put it blatantly, power is what I want, not the power of a mafioso or a drug lord, but intellectual power. To be my own definition to put it that way. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this frustration.

But then again, my personality conflicts with this. As I said before a lack of ambition and the fact that I'm a horrible procrastinator.

"I'll try and matter tomorrow"

.......Or not.....

I've had my share of muses I guess you could say, the latest moved away last year leaving me with a feeling of anguish and exhaustion. So lately I haven't had the want or need to do anything outside of work and school, plus a girlfriend I have nothing in common with.

Alright, I'm done whining for now.

sounds to me like the biggest frustration you have is that

you need to get the hell out of dodge. trust me when i say that i know that feeling of frustration. the only thing you can do is to try to make the best out of where and what you are now. the best thing to do is just to have an optimistic attitude and know that things will change and get better. without optimism i would be hopeless right now and god knows i wouldn't have done some of the stuff i've done. you just have to "keep hope alive" and realize that this is the beginning, not the end.

I appreciate the

I appreciate the reassurance, especially from someone of your accomplishments.

I don't mean to sound whiny and I shouldn't force my problems on other people. I really shouldn't complain with how good I do have it....
