I had a revelation tonight. I sat in the driver's seat of my car, coated in a layer of green from the luminescent lamps across the intersection. The stoplight insisted I continue on my drive home, yet I found myself continuing to bask in the soft glow and pondering about my direction in life. I knew exactly where I was driving, but I was still very much lost. All at once, my head was consumed with thoughts that I had compacted in the back of my mind; thoughts of school, family, love interests and the rest of my life. Compounded with my lack of sleep over the recent weeks, I was overtaken in a manner in which I was not prepared for.
These thoughts swirled around without ever allowing me to solve one issue before the next one swooped in.
To put it simply, I was screwed. Yes, all of the issues that had arisen were just simply the same issues that go through the minds of each and every person on Earth.
