We once thought the same. We liked the same books, movies, girls,
and had the same perspective on life. We were all about fuck society and the
status quo. We made fun of the people buying cookie cutter homes, having kids, working
a 9 to 5 and conforming to societal norms. But things change, people
change. One minute I am sleeping on his
floor discussing pussy and the American nightmare/dream and the next minute we
are discussing his home loan he was just approved for and the quirks of his one
year old daughter. Don’t get me wrong I am not a hater, I am genuinely happy
for the dude and I only wish the best for him and his budding family. He has
progressed and moved forward in his life and good for him. I guess he is
fulfilling the American dream we so despised not so long ago. I guess I feel
left behind, although I have no desire at this age for a house and kids.
However, I feel I lost someone, a fellow soldier in the fuck the proverbial man campaign. But I digress; I am a man
in the margin, and while it may be a lonely road, it is my road to travel. I
will never be your beast of burden, life.
