Days Like This...

All I can think is that, with every step, it's in the wrong direction. Every choice has led me nowhere, to the point I am at now. Dreams of a future seem like translucent glass, which I stare into trying to find that it is something... solid?

I think, "Damn. I'm not as cool as this person. Not as ____ as that person. Or ___ as that person."

What a fucking existence? 
To feel trapped within a body that isn't pushing through life as you, the owner, wished it would. Think of how frustrating it would be to be driving a car that is so beat, bruised, and wanting to break down. But you push it, daily--past it's limits. Fearing that it will eventually break, you, almost comically, put whatever resources are at your disposal into it.
Keep going.

The things I want from my life have yet eluded me.

So, why is it that I still pursue these things? A future in robotics and neuroscience. A physique that people would bow just to touch. I am so jealous of the people who are where they have wanted to be at in this life. I want to laugh, cry, and scream, "Congratulations you fuck!"

How did they get there?

What choices have they made to get to where they are?

How can I make these similar choices?
...Can I save myself?

Something About Nights Past

It started with a word, a whisper, a line crossed out on a strangers discarded napkin.

A scribbled thought.


I thought to myself of this random occurrence. What design was this being attempting to portray before failing and leaving only evidence behind. It meant nothing, I'm sure.

We left the bar.
Speeding down the highway, winding corners spewing gravel in our wake.

I have missed out so much on life, of the lives of others of the course of the past few years. When they reminisce on their past, I am the outsider of the group.

"Smile blankly, sweet."

Clueless and bored, I enjoyed the rush of being reckless.

Even still, in a crowded room, a club jumping with cheers and laughter, I pause and the moment slows. Thinking to myself, "How bitter this sweetness is of a constant reverberation." Moments as if everyone was in sync -- molecules within a vast ocean...

...in which I sink.
