Sometimes I wish I were still in high school, but mostly because it was a different era… How foolish and idealistic we were to believe that dubbya was going to be the worst president and that America would ever unfuck its shit and become s place worth living in again “soon”. There was no actual recovery after 9/11; just manic delusions.

No, unfortunately, no matter how hard I yearn and wish and dream, it’s not 2003 anymore and I’ll never be in high school again. Hell, I don’t even envy the kids who are in high school NOW. I hear that all the issues schools used to have back then have only gotten worse. Even college has become a scam due to student loans. I’m actually glad I quit college to just work and pay off my loans twenty years ago.

If I had stayed in college for my chosen major I’d still be in debt to this day but unable to find work. Things would have only turned out better for me if I had changed my major to go full on into engineering, but that concept was nowhere near my mind back then and wasn’t even close to “on the table”. And now, even that track is oversaturated. The economy is hemorrhaging all its resources at the parasitic tumors afflicting its managerial and administrative levels. We’re all just waiting for the confidence game to fall apart at this point…
