Self-Affirmation is for Hippies

The world is not Berkeley.
Berkeley is not the world.

I am a child of the dreamer generation, fed since childhood the idea that I can be anything i want to be, as long as i stay in school and reach for the stars and just say no. If i believe it, I can achieve it. welcome to america, complete with respective dream of said america.

But damned if i don't find myself in a odd predicament now.

Maybe i spent too much time trying to convince myself i'm a beautiful snowflake and not enough time scared out of my mind, scrambling to secure my place as a cog in the machine.









An exaggeration, of course.

But perhaps a necessary one.
