Two, you can follow the footsteps of the influential crowd of morons you grew up with, where being cool was in actuality degrading your self esteem while at the same time blaming society for the set back in life, that you alone created.
I once thought there were more frivolous paths then the above. In actuality I find it extremely difficult to believe that any other choice exists. You either move on from the pecimistic view points of the tunnel vision thinking you associated with as a younger person. Or, you realize that lifes too fucking short. At that point you begin to think: Why? After which you either fall into depression or create an answer to the question that hounds your daily rhetorical thought process. Insight into this important decision and NECESSARY step in the evolution from peon to master begins with answering that one detremental electric zap from brain to motor function to action and reaction. Relization of this new found knowledge illeviates the need for the metaphorical crutch I like to call the rest of the population. Thinking about the most successful people you have ever actually really known, how many of them felt it necessary to do what they felt important MORE then what you felt important at the time. For example: they choose to finish there midterm final paper while you went and fucked the girl/guy of your high school dreams. Two months later they've graduated and are attending some university while you're working part time and taking make up courses because you failed to make the gpa required to attend any college.
In short? Think ahead because in two days I'll be twenty years old, thats realistically 1/4 of my life. Gone. If you think procrastinating achievement for that moments pleasure is worth being on social security when you're 55 years old and still working at Save mart because that still isn't paying the bills. Then by all means forget you read this. If not? then this is what you need to do.
Take assertive action and take control of your life.

20 is late to be having these realisations dude..
I'm 18 and none of this is new to me..
But look, basically its not two life paths, its two different types of people. There are people that can go through life climbing up the ladder in their chosen occupation and never make much of a mark in life.. And there are people who are more creative in their thought processes and the way their mind is set up.
Both types have pros and cons and people who live strickly by the governments idealest system (Ie- schooling, university, an average paying job, saving up then starting a family) are usually more content with their simple life.. Where as people who are more creative and self supporting usually end up being the bosses of people who are in the other group because they are usually the big entrepenours, talented music artists, actors and all mannor of excentric profile types..
I recon I'm the latter.. I'm more of a creative person and I can say straight up school wasnt meant for me.. It wasnt because I was stupid, it was because I had no dedication to what they were trying to build me into. Especially near the end because I lost all interest and started comming into school drinking and selling guns..
It was rap that gave me direction though..
If I can give you any advice though man, is find something that your really interested in, and make a career out of it any way you can. Because by the sounds of what your saying, your probably fall into the same catagory as I do..
Correct me if I'm wrong..
