Hah. Real world my ass. The real world is only what you make of it. So why does my "real world" have to be this? Maybe I could be one of the few who actually get out. Who go forward. Change the world. Or at least escape the hypocrisy of living in this one. I'm furious at the state of our nation. FURIOUS. But it keeps me comfortable and so I don't do anything. Because I'm afraid to be made an example. I chickened out of the July 4th protest because I was afraid. Give me a break! I almost feel guilty for not having been arrested before. I've never put myself so far out there, like so many of my friends have, to actually risk arrest.
Not that being arrested will fix any of my problems. In fact, it will only increase them. But at the same time, everything worth fighting for has some degree of risk. Should I not fight for something I believe in because it will make my own life more complicated? I don't think so.
Bah. I'm just grumpy today.
