The real world

I'm finding out that the real world is a scary place. It's a place of sacrifice and norms. It eats childhood dreams and kills hopes but u can maintain sanity if you can conform enough to blend in. You give up carnal pleasures or dare to be outcast. You give up comfort for the promise of a future. Although you quickly become aware that the future lies on a whim and can fall from reach in seconds. Everyone welcomes you in but no one really cares if you're successful or homeless. There's an air of disapointment amongst successful and destitute alike. It's a dark place that needs a hero that looks to movies and books for an escape. I use to want to be that hero but only a few months into the real world I understand the average desire to be mediocre. It's enough to just want to get by. It's satisfying knowing you can survive this hell hole. I'm a new man a driven one and my drive is to make a life for myself I no longer have the desire to ascend to greatness and have my name permanently engraved in history. My goals are to survive this shit we've built around ourselves.
