Come and bring a sledge hammer down on my world


The monotonous struggle of life feels is almost suffocating. There is nothing but routine, habit and cleanliness in the secure future. Where we have the stable job, pleasure in the simple things and we let our dreams pass us by. One minute we are stepping out into the world with a head full of ideas and the next we are too old to even think about changing any of the patterns that spiral around us in a suffocating blur.

For the life of me I cannot think why anybody would want to conform to the way of society. Getting a job that ties you down, having a family that leeches your life away from you and commitments. I just want to walk out my door, bag with the basics in hand, and escape. Run away, into the wilderness. Jumping from place to place. Never settled. Meeting new people and tackling new obstacles every day. I find routine painful. The moment everything is stable I feel a crippling boredom and an intense restlessness. What is worse, the oppression that comes from these feelings makes me want to just crawl into my bed and hide until it passes. My motivation is sapped away.

I want to do something that breaks the monotony. Anything. And I want to do it right now.
