I Finally Found It

It’s an odd sensation to have the memory of childhood, feeling as though the whole world is in front of you, while simultaneously struggling with the inability to ever actually experience that feeling again. One day you’re dreaming about everything you could be, then suddenly you’re in your twenties wondering how you got here and what the hell you’re going to do next with your life. It seems like friends and colleagues alike are just going through the motions and nobody seems to really be feeling anything anymore. We wake up, go to work, come home, go to sleep, repeat. Some of us have days off, others are pulling double shifts just to survive. We’re all stuck in this mundane routine but nobody seems to be asking “why” or challenging the way of things. Except for me.
