Nobody Likes You When You're 23

I am convinced no one cares any more, about anything.
We are all going through life blinded by celebrities, and expensive things, and wanting to be rich so badly, but never actually work to get there. What happened to having dreams? What happened to wanting to work hard, and achieve goals? What happened to us? We lost ourselves along the way. It's strange how many things change when you grow up.
I'm guilty too. I haven't felt useful since high school.

I am one part wanderlust and three parts terrified.
When I was younger I was never worried about my future. I had the drive, and the confidence that would get me anywhere, but each passing year is slowly burying those traits in me. That's something I thought I would never lose. I'm trapped. I'm trapped here. I'm trapped in the vicious cycle of getting older, and living pay check to pay check and promising myself I'll be happy some day.
